Who else is surprised how quickly Walgreen's is going up at the corner of Highway 25 and Tres Pinos Road? When they first began construction, I could not see how a big pharmacy like Walgreen's could fit in that seemingly awkward space. When I saw the building the other day, I was amazed at how big it is.
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.

See you have construction going on as well, progress must go on even if we don't need it.
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Bill. We really don't need the Walgreen's. We have more than enough pharmacies for our tiny city, if not county. Still, looking on the positive end, it will provide jobs, hopefully to people from the area, and it will add revenue to the city coffers.
DeleteI guess they can use the revenue, but I think that spells the end of Tres Pinos as I've known it: the cute little rest stop on the way to wine country, or to Mercy Hot Springs.
ReplyDeleteJean, not to worry, the Walgreen's is on the south end of Hollister. Still far away from the quaintness of Tres Pinos. Thank goodness!
