clock strikes 12

at the Jules Simoneau Plaza:

 

four streets come together here: Munras, Pearl, Tyler and the end of Alvarado is close

 

 

time, as in noon.

 

time passing... as in history. Where this clock now stands and buses stop, a restaurant once stood. A boarding house was nearby and still exists as a historical relic, and a general store still stands also as a historical building and store.

It was here that Robert Louis Stevenson ate each night during his stay in Monterey in 1879, a stay that some think inspired the story of Treasure Island.
