San Francisco Saturday

The Cannery built in 1907 as The California Fruit and Vegetable Co. later became known as the Del Monte Co. The operation closed in 1937. It was once the worlds largest fruit cannery as Del Monte's Plant No.1 Today, "The Cannery" is a city within a city, a dramatic urban space modeled after old European Villages.
Today the building and courtyard are an attraction for tourists who come to The Golden Gate Recreational Area. The building houses shops and offices while the courtyard is a beautiful setting for additional shops and restaurants and live entertainment daily.
