Here are some more photos taken in Monterey on Cannery Row last week. The first is of Ed Ricketts' Pacific Biological Laboratories. Steinbeck called it Doc's Western Biological Laboratories.
Dora Flood and her Bear Flag Restaurant Bordello was based upon the real Lone Star Cafe operated by Flora Woods. Mackerel Jack's Trading Company now stands on the site. The next two photos, including an artist's idea of Mack and the boys, were taken of the wall of the building.
I'm reposting the historical marker listing the actual sites (with their fictional names) that Steinbeck used in his story.
