At 8:30 this morning, historical downtown Hollister was hopping. Excitement buzzed up and down the streets. A few vendors for the Hollister Rally were already putting up tents. From my vantage point in the bakery/coffee shop (whose name I can't remember) at 730 San Benito Street, I watched the parade of people, cars, and motorcycles pass back and forth. The Fourth of July celebration has begun!
