Cannery Row keeps them coming to Monterey
Attention all tourism promoters: If you want your destination put "on the map" for all future generations, just go out and hire an author with the talent, let’s say, of John Steinbeck, and have that writer publish a piece of literary art that just happens to have your location as a backdrop.
One doubts whether tourism was on anyone’s mind when Steinbeck came out in the mid-1940s with his famous fictional classic, "Cannery Row," but that novel ultimately had the effect of turning the Monterey Peninsula into one of the most popular destinations for a Northern California vacation.
