Three bon vivants walk into a bar...

Alas, they were born into different eras, but all managed to capture on paper the magic of a town some considered "the Sleepy Hollow of California", "a poem, a stink, a grating noise", "mostly a dreary, isolated dump of a village." Thank you, Joe, for a great read!

Thank you Joe; what a wonderful perspective from someone I would have never heard of otherwise. Being out of the way has always been good for Monterey in the long run, imo.
