A plaque accompanying a mural depicting the down and out of Cannery Row reads:
"The cannery whistles scream and all over the town men and women scramble into their clothes and come running down to the row to go to work ... The canneries rumble and rattle and squeak until the last fish is cleaned and cut and cooked and canned and then the whistles scream again and the dripping, smelly, tired Wops and Chinamen and Polaks, men and women, straggle out and droop their ways up the hill into the town and Cannery Row becomes itself again - quiet and magical.
John Steinbeck
Cannery Row"
