The building pictured, the Bear Flag, is still standing and inside are several fine shops and Bullwacker’s restaurant. Bullwacker’s is a recent addition, so I do not think your mother worked there, The Bear Flag [run by Dora Flood] in Steinbeck’s Cannery Row was a fictional depiction of Flora Woods Adams’ brothel, “The Lone Star” It was not named after a Texan or had a Texas theme. The building Flora Woods bought was a restaurant [which did have large five-pointed star on the front] owned by a Chinese man, Steinbeck named it Bear Flag as a dig at the state of California’s state flag with a bear on it The site of the Lone Star [her “customers” referred to it as “Flora’s”] is now a gift shop. The building is situated as Steinbeck described it his book, almost straight across from Ed Ricketts lab [“Doc”’s in the novel]. More information about the fiction and real Cannery Row places and people would be found in “Scrap” Lundy’s book, Real Life on Cannery Row. Many of Robert Lewis’ photographs hang on the walls at the local Starbuck’s coffee house.<br /><br />Herb BehrensHerb Behrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716778501937903205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367850639229156864.post-6211030072832720052010-11-27T10:41:12.591-08:002010-11-27T10:41:12.591-08:00Beautiful, beautiful!
