[4K] Monterey, California | Cannery Row Walking Tour | 2022

[@chanderkant9545]

Just started to read Steinbecks book Cannery Row... Fascinating to watch this video... Thanks for the upload

[@WalkingAmbience]

No problem. Nice, it’s an interesting book.

I was stationed at Ft. Ord from '71-73. Seaside, Monterey, Pacific Grove and Cannery Row were our weekend stomping grounds. First stop Saturday morning was the Egglet in Seaside for the best omelette i've ever had. You could build your own. Saw Cheech and Chong and some concerts live in Monterey. Had some great seafood on Fishermans wharf. Cannery Row was the way to get to Pebble beach. 17 mile drive was free and one of the most scenic drives there is. Cannery Row was much different then. Most of the original canneries and buildings were still there. There was a small long and narrow movie theater with no seats, just thick carpet and huge long pillows. You didn't sit, you laid down. I saw Mad Dogs and Englishmen there with Joe Cocker. There was a company called Ferro boat (It was located @4:36 Hovden Way)that would sell you the plans and a kit to build a boat made with a cement hull. I watched them being built and yes, they did float. Some great memories, I'll never forget that place. Looks like a tourist trap now. Too bad, it lost most of its history and charm imo.

You were a little before me. I was stationed there from 81 to 84

Monterey looks beautiful. Nice video.

Thank you. Yeah, it is a beautiful place.

[@juanlopez1973]

Great video. 👍

[@WalkingAmbience]

Thank you 🙏

[@ronniewest838]

Beautiful‼️

[@archiesinclair6252]

Wondering where the Palace Flop House was? Obsessed with both those books. Thanks for this....enjoying it.

[@WalkingAmbience]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it. I was wondering that as well. Might just be an old fish house shack on a slope near the water.

[@Judy446]

Beautiful

[@WalkingAmbience]

Yeah, it is.

[@dennisandrews8485]

What happened to Oscar Hosenfellers? It use to be right in front of the Monterey Cannery. They had a live chicken that would play tic tac toe with you and would always win. There was a lot of quarter video games and icecream and candy making store. Everything changes

[@jillianclark4076]

Oh, wow, I remember that too!! Full-crammed, packed full- of kitchen games, arcades, 70s tourist fun stuff! Thanks for reminding me!

[@dennisandrews8485]

@@jillianclark4076 Yep, I was stationed at Fr Ord in the 80s

[@jillianclark4076]

Spell check is gonna drive me to drink...That was 'kitschy' games. Funky, off beat. Ah, well. There might have been kitchen games, too. And thanks to you both, for serving- my brother served in the Marines from '67 to '70. His forts were Camp Pendelton and Lejeune.

nice tour

[@WalkingAmbience]

Thank you 🙏

[@HJ-eb7jv]

Looks really nice there

[@WalkingAmbience]

Yeah, it really is!

[@sophieca6906]

What camera did you use? It looks great. I was just in Pismo Beach. Cannery has cleaner stores and more upscale hotels such as Intercontinental and Plaza.

[@WalkingAmbience]

Thank you. This was shot with a DJI Pocket 2.

[@Raymond-rd9bm]

You needed to go to Hollister hills

[@tomservo5007]

look at that line to eat sardines

[@holidaytinn]

Nice video

[@WalkingAmbience]

Thank you 🙏

[@billusa86ify]

Hi which month is this ?

[@WalkingAmbience]

August

[@timothymacdonnell9079]

It looks very expensive and touristy.

[@WalkingAmbience]

Yeah, it’s an expensive area. This is the top tourist destination in town.

[@djm5k]

I lived in Monterey for six months back in 1984-85. It wasn’t for me. Had a bad work experience there which ruined it. Glad I did it, otherwise I would have regretted not doing it. Cannery Row is much different now than it was when I lived there. I have been back since then, but decided Monterey is a nice place to visit, but would not want to live there. Again!
