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.

The Opening
This empty storefront used to be a bar that I've only known as the Smokehouse. I never thought about asking what it was really called. The other day, the husband and I were walking by the building and noticed an opening in the window. So, of course I had to peek.

ReplyDeleteThere were 2 bars right next to each other, both skid-road gems, The Smokehouse and The Acme Club. They both had a bar on one side and a food counter on the other with a card room in the back - My father used to tend bar and deal cards at both locations.
