it is not clear if this page is about the community of cannery row or the novel by john steinbeck. separate pages should be made for this.

Can you say more about why you think it is unclear? This article starts out with "Cannery Row is the waterfront street", and the second paragraph mentions the novel (there seems not yet to be a separate article about the novel) and links to the existing separate article about the film. — RandallJones 00:06, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, this argument would have had merit were Cannery Row famous for anything other than the novel. In fact, it was only after the publication and success of the novel that the name of the street was officially changed from Ocean View Ave. to Cannery Row.
