Description

Rolling Fog Fisherman's Wharf by Floyd Snyder

This is the backside of Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California. It looked like nearly all of the business have just been spruced up for the launch of new tourist season.

There are probably a hundred individual storefronts, restaurants, gift shops of Fisherman's Wharf. But a lot of them are owned by a handful of people. There is one family that has their kids managing restaurants making four generations. The family owns about 13 different restaurants and gift shops

Monterey, the first capital city of the State of California is a world-class tourist destination.

“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 flophouses. Its inhabitant are, as the man once said, "whores, pimps, gambler and sons of bitches," by which he meant Everybody.” -John Steinbeck, Cannery Row, 1945
