LOCAL INTELLIGENCE – “A new SAN DIEGO FISH CANNING establishment is to be opened in San Diego. The company has secured a building near the waterfront and will CAN FISH, fruit, and vegetables. The Managers are said to be experienced men. The industrial growth of San Diego is keeping pace with progress in other directions.” – *Editorial Note: While this is NOT exclusively a fish cannery, would THIS qualify as San Diego’s *FIRST* fish cannery? – More info needed…, and the *TWO* best “guess-timates” (emphasis on “guess” – ed.) of this/these “specific” business/es is from the 1892 San Diego City Directory; (1) The “San Diego Canning and Packing Co., S. C. Blanchard, Mgr. – Atlantic St. between C & D Sts.” OR, (2) The “San Diego Fish & Produce Market, J. Goulden, Proprietor – 1316 F St.” Did I mention “guess”?
