Palace Flophouse, Western Biological {122-3} And the Palace Flophouse
and Grill began to function.  The
boys could sit in front of their door and look
down across the track and across the lot and
across the street right into the front windows of
Western Biological.... And their eyes followed
Doc across the street when he went to Lee Chong's
for beer.
Bear Flag, lot, Lee Chong {126-7} Lee Chong's is to the
right of the vacant lot.... Up in back of the
vacant lot is the railroad track and the Palace
Flophouse. But on the left-hand boundary of the
lot is the stern and stately whore house of Dora
Flood.... In a moment of local love, Dora named
her place the Bear Flag Restaurant.
Hediondo Cannery {132} He came by just at dusk and crossed
the street and through the opening between
Western Biological and the Hediondo Cannery.
La Ida, Bear Flag, lot, Lee Chong's {197-8} On such a morning and in
such a light two soldiers and two girls strolled
easily along the street. They had come out of la
Ida.... Past the Bear Flag they went and said
"Hiya,"
to the bouncer who was scratching his stomach.
They listened to the snores from the pipes and
laughed a little. At Lee Chong's they stopped and
looked into the messy display window where tools
and clothes and food crowded for attention.
Swinging their hands and scuffling their feet,
they came to the end of Cannery Row and turned up
to the railroad track.... Then they went past the
boat works and turned down into the park-like
property of the Hopkins Marine Station. There is
a tiny curved beach in front of the station....
Red Williams, Holman's {212} Henri the painter was occupied, for
Holman's Department Store had employed not a
flag-pole sitter but a flag-pole skater.... Henri
had taken up his post across the street at Red
Williams' gas station .
Holman's {224> Richard walked sturdily down the
hill through the pines until he came to
Lighthouse Avenue. He turned left and went up
toward Holman's.
La Ida, boat works {235} The noise [of the party] could be
heard from the boat works * to La Ida.
Palace, Lighthouse {252} "You see how they [the boys at
the Palace] are sitting facing this way?
Well—in about half an hour the Fourth of
July Parade is going to pass on Lighthouse
Avenue. ... and by walking two short block s they
can be right beside it."
* the Monterey Boat Works is just across
Monterey's city line on Ocean View Boulevard in
Pacific Grove (between Cannery Row and the
Hopkins Marine Center..
