Epicenter Cycling is happy to announce the new Madone SLR from Trek Bikes has arrived at our store at 230 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

If you eat, sleep, and breathe racing and you want the best road race bike Trek has ever made, this is the bicycle for you. It's crafted from Trek's highest-level 900 Series OCLV Carbon that's not only insanely light, but delivers aerodynamic shapes for crushing descents and straightaways.

We could tell you more, but we think you should come see it for yourself.

The Mercury News published a nice introduction into what the owners of the soon to be opening 7 Stars Bar and Grill are trying to do with their new location in Downtown Campbell. Their location in Downtown Campbell is expected to be a continuation of their previous location in San Jose that closed in 2021.

The bar and grill will be sci-fi themed with a heavy Star Wars influence, but they're planning for an all-inclusive environment in more ways than one.

"They have declared 7 Stars as a safe zone for all people, regardless of color, race, religion, gender expression/identity or who you love."

From the sounds of it, anyone who was a fan of their old location should instantly feel at home in their new place once it opens. They were known for all kinds of serious nerd-out trivia nights that were so popular that people had to be turned away and they're going to be bringing those back.

Thank you to all of you who entered your car into our second juried car show. After a very well received, but more modestly sized first event in 2023, we came back in our second year with a larger event that added over 100 cars to the 160 that were entered the previous year. We also added two new award categories this year for Best Street Machine and a Staff's Pick Award.

Our second show was by all measures everything we had hoped for with one exception. If you were there and you thought the show ended earlier than it was supposed to, you're right. A couple of of the car show entrants broke some car show rules and caused the Campbell Police Department to call off the show 45 minutes early for safety reasons. We'll have more car shows. Those two will never again be a part of them.

Regardless, even with an awkward ending, it was a great show and you can flip through our official event photos if you missed it. It was no easy effort. A small army of volunteers were needed with many showing up as early as 6am to help prepare for the day. Thank you massively to all of our dedicated helpers who helped us pull this off. We couldn't have done it without you.

While we're thanking our volunteer teams, please remember that this car show and most of the events that happen in Downtown Campbell are entirely run by volunteers who contribute countless hours of their time to make things happen. Some of them put in hundreds of hours a year.

In no particular order, some of the tireless people who made this show happen this year were:

• Mike Van Sant (The Olive Bar)
• Amy Taylor (Cloud City Supply)
• Carol Pouya (

Another fantastic 4th of July celebration is in the books! The Old Monterey Business Association wants to thank everyone who attended and marched in our annual 4th of July Parade. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

There are photos on our website from the 4th of July Parade in Downtown Old Monterey, pancake breakfast at the fire station, and music and food fest in front of Colton Hall. We encourage you to go there to see the special moments captured by photographer and OMBA web developer Sheldon Chang.

Did anyone go to the 4th of July Parade in Downtown Monterey? If you did, you may have caught a glimpse of our very own Lighthouse District contingent in the parade. Our group was led by the On the Beach logo vehicle followed by Escape Room 831, The Break Room, and American Burger.

The 4th of July Parade is an annual Monterey tradition and this is the first time businesses from the Lighthouse District got together to join in the fun with the rest of the community. If you want to see more photos from this year's parade, take a look at the 4th of July Parade album on the Old Monterey website.
