"John Steinbeck's legacy is one of importance for Monterey County and certainly a cultural touchpoint for visitors,"
"We go back and forth looking at Steinbeck, what he wrote and what we see today, and it makes a fun composite,"
"Even though he was born and raised in Salinas, he lived a lot of the time in his grandmother's garden cottage in Pacific Grove, and he would walk from Pacific Grove into Monterey and hang out on Cannery Row."
"Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise..."
Fog often rolls over Cannery Row, blending old canneries with newer storefronts and preserving a setting tied to John Steinbeck's novels. Monterey County serves as a recognizable literary backdrop that attracts visitors worldwide. A Netflix adaptation of East of Eden is expected to increase interest and visitor traffic. See Monterey emphasizes Steinbeck's cultural importance for the region. California Legacy Tours offers a Cannery Row walking tour led by Monica Hudson that links Steinbeck's writing to the area's historical canning industry. Hudson points out physical remnants of canneries and sometimes reads passages from Steinbeck during the tour.
