 Cannery Row Pathfinder
Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.
Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky-tonks, restaurants and whore-houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flop-houses.
Cannery Row is described as the "Center of operations of Monterey's sardine-canning and sardine-reduction industry-whose annual output is unequalled elsewhere in the world" (Delkin, p.121, 1946).

 Cannery Row
Cannery Row is a true classic of American literature, and one of the gentler works to inflict upon high-schoolers.
CANNERY ROW shows us many great ironies, not the least of which is the fact that "Mack and the boys," a group of down-and-out bums, seem to be more content and fulfilled with their lot in life than is "Doc," the professional man who operates the Western Biological Laboratory.
Other residents of Cannery Row also connect to the human community, sharing what they have and supporting one another when the fates bring misfortune upon their fellow men.

On Dec. 7, the Monterey City Council is expected to deliver a decision on whether or not to accept the Cannery Row Historic Survey, a document that will guide the city as to what buildings, zartifacts, and places should be historically designated and which should not.
Add in the fact that Cannery Row Company single-handedly saved numerous Row buildings that may have otherwise met the wrecking ball, and Balestreri''s resistance of the city''s efforts is understandable.
For instance, one Cannery Row Company building identified by the survey as meeting National Register criteria burned in 1978 and was rebuilt from the ground up.

 John Steinbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steinbeck wrote in the naturalist style, often about poor working-class people, and his body of work reflects his wide range of interests, including marine biology, jazz, politics, philosophy, history, and myth.
Seventeen of his works, including Cannery Row (1945) and The Pearl (1947), went on to become Hollywood films, and Steinbeck himself achieved success as a Hollywood writer, garnering an Academy Award nomination for Best Writing for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, in 1945.
The film versions of The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men (by two different movie studios) were in production simultaneously, and Steinbeck had the immensely satisfying experience of spending a full day on the set of The Grapes of Wrath, then spending the next day on the set of Of Mice and Men.
