A major fire on Cannery Row that originated at the Monterey Canning Company building on February 24, 1978, destroyed much of the building that included Sly McFly Bar and many other shops on what is now Steinbeck Plaza. (Monterey County Herald archives)
Wow. Excellent picture. I remember hearing about Cannery Row fires when I was a kid in the '60s, and later driving down the street and seeing the shells that remained. We were living in Oregon when this one happened, but I remember the last Cannery Row fire a month or so after we moved back in 1984. I was working at the top of Forest Avenue in PG and saw the plume of smoke. They were all "accidental" (wink, wink) fires, right?
