We drive in to Salinas every day from Monterey, and I have just not been able to get away from work to go check out the historic Steinbeck House on Central Avenue. The house was the boyhood home to the author John Steinbeck(1902–1968), and he lived there on and off until 1935. The house is noted for its Queen Anne architecture and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
