Cannery Row Is More Than Steinbeck Or Tourists

the Clement hotel built a walkway that gives pedestrians free access to the ocean side of the hotel and the rear of the Pacific Biological Laboratory, “Doc’s Lab,” where Ed Ricketts plied his trade as a collector of specimens for marine biological research.
Eventually, he said, similar walkways may give the public walking access to the entire Cannery Row shore front.
“It’s not just about Steinbeck anymore,” said Bonnie Adams, executive director of the Cannery Row Business Association.
Besides Steinbeck’s own lore, the walking tour gives glimpses into the role of women in the canneries, the great Associated Oil fire of 1924, Cannery Row in the movies and in literature.
Hero – Former Store Owner Buys Back Business, Saves Jobs

“I know the government officially says we’re in a recession. I’ve just chosen not to participate,” said John Wiseman, of Searle Framing.
Wiseman walked away from his small Central Coast chain of art supply and framing stores after he sold it 14 months ago to an investor.
Wiseman was working on his golf game full time when he got word last weekend that his old stores would close its doors, leaving more than a dozen long-time employees without jobs.

What Recession? We Have A Luxury Spa For Dogs
Dogs have more accessibility than the disabled around here. Watch your step.

The promenade, Cannery Row’s first Holiday Pet Parade, was a benefit for the SPCA of Monterey County and the Animal Friends Rescue Project.
For the canine competitors, adorned in their holiday best, it paid big dividends to finish first. The grand prize was a luxury spa appointment at Chateau Le Paws at the American Tin Cannery. Their owners got the human equivalent from the Energia Spa at the new Intercontinental Clement Monterey Hotel.
Woman Pulled From Water By Divers
Hear-old says nothing about why she was in the water. Diver? Swimmer? Fell in? Check back for updates.
The divers who were bringing her in were making good progress, doing a great job,” Perkins said. “When we got her up on the beach, she was breathless and pulse-less, so we initiated CPR.”
Perkins said the fire department received “great assistance” from bystanders, including a registered nurse who was on the beach, off-duty firefighters, a state park lifeguard, the Coast Guard and the Monterey Police Department.

San Carlos Beach
Professor Toro – The 1924 Cannery Row Oil Tank Fire
Good little history lesson about the naming of “Pvt Bolio Road”
According to the Monterey Fire Department’s history of the event, “A freak storm covered the Monterey Bay. It had a series of hail, wind, rain, lightning and thunder. Lightning split a tree on the Presidio. Then, at 10:10 a.m., a bolt of lightning struck the top of one of the Associated Oil storage tanks near the wharf in Monterey. The 55,000 barrel tank, filled with oil and covered only with a layer of oil paper, burst into flame, and huge clouds of black smoke rose into the sky.”
Many pictures of the fire at the Hathaway’s California Views.

Artists Unclear Of Concepts
Burglars broke into First Night Monterey’s Archer Park Community Center headquarters Tuesday night, robbing the small nonprofit that stages the city’s ambitious and art-heavy New Year’s Eve celebration of their Mac computer and external hard drives.
“To break in and rob us … of our artwork, desktop publishing and the two external hard drives which were the backups…it’s all gone.
Concept #1 – Thieves do not care if it’s a Mega-Corporation, a working person, or an artiste. They will steal anything they can.
Concept #2 – Don’t store you backups in the same place as the computer. In a fire, flood or yes even theft, your backups are only as safe as the computer. Keep your back ups off site.
