1957-2007

Kalisa Moore, known as "Queen of Cannery Row," was born in Latvia and came to America after WWII. She bridged the eras, opening her gourmet restaurant when most of the canneries had closed.

Over the years "Kalisa's" became a bohemian coffee house where artists, writers and poets "hung out." Her weekend cabaret was bustling with musicians, dancers and occasionally celebrities from the Monterey Jazz Festival.>br>

As time passed and Cannery Row was reborn, Kalisa became a major factor in retaining memories of Steinbecks's era, promoting tourism and commerce as the President of the Cannery Row Foundation.

For fifty years she was a friend to the famous and a mother to the needy with a local following who knew and loved her.

Kalisa's La Ida Cafe was a very special time and place, and Kalisa wil always be remembered as "Queen of Cannery Row."
