Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Tuesday in Hollister: Where Did You Shop?
This building stands on the northwest corner of Sixth and San Benito Streets. It has been home to three department stores, at least. How many can you name? If you have no memory of any department stores, because you're just too young, then what shops do you recall being in this building?
Come back on Thursday to compare your answers with mine.

Baughmann's?
ReplyDeleteYou've got one of 'em, Charlie. What came before and after the infamous Baughman's?
ReplyDeleteDidn't that used to be a grocery store?
ReplyDeleteNancy, could you be thinking of the grocery store on the corner of San Benito and South? It was originally built as a drive-through grocery store.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know the building in this photo has been a department store. I've been told that the building next door used to be a grocery store.
