It sounds like none of you folks recommend Cannery Row as a destination these days. Is it still worth going to ?

I returned to Cannery Row in 2007 for the first time since I left Monterey in 1975 and I found it extremely disappointing. It is nothing more than a tourist attraction with none of the charm that it formerly had. There were no really good restaurants to be found and I was unable to discover any place that offered decent entertainment. A couple of friends who visited last year informed me that nothing has changed since my last visit and that the place is just a shell of its former self.

"Cannery Row," I read the book and the follow-up, "Sweet Thursday."


I've only been through "Steinbeck Country" a few times, but would love to spend some time there.


Sorry, didn't mean to go OT, but I'm reading the thread and wanted to chip in too, and I've been reading about it ever since Steinbeck referred to his beloved Salinas Valley.


Thx

I started reading Steinbeck in high school by surprise. Needed English credits to graduate so I signed up for Western Literature thinking I could get credit for reading Louis L'Amour paperbacks. Whoops, not that western. Tortilla Flat is my favorite, because people I knew reminded me of many of the characters in the book.

Back OT. The Row has changed from being an Old Fishermans Wharf Outpost to it's own crowded mess. Say I have relatives from Arkansas visiting and they want to go. I get sandwiches from Compagno's and we picnic at San Carlos Beach. Walk the trail to Fish Prison. Spend a few hours there. On the way back it's some of the gift shops this side of Prescott and back to the trail. Even when being hospitable I stay far from the section from Prescott to Drake. Visit the Doc Ricketts statue then GTFO.

If it's tshirts they want, we go to the wharf. Some kin take 3x and up and they are more plentiful there.

Yes, her name was Barbara (she was called Bobby) Kelly. She was preceded by a singer named Ruth Crews. I was at DLI (Defense Language Institute) studying Korean in Monterey in the late 1960’s, and I worked part-time as a bartender at the Warehouse and at Flora’s. I loved it there. The owner’s name was Dick O’Kane, and his wife (whose name I am temporarily blanking on) also worked in the Warehouse wearing an “Untouchable” shirt. It was a raucous and fun place. If you have any more questions, you can email me at [email]lbags@aol.com[/email].
