When I was a first grader in 1960, I had to wait for the bus at the corner of Shore Road and San Felipe Road, across from Dunneville Market, in front of old rumble-tumble abandoned buildings. A lot of times I was by myself. It could get pretty spooky for a kid with a crazy imagination.
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.

A Sunday Flashback: Waiting for the Bus
When I was a first grader in 1960, I had to wait for the bus at the corner of Shore Road and San Felipe Road, across from Dunneville Market, in front of old rumble-tumble abandoned buildings. A lot of times I was by myself. It could get pretty spooky for a kid with a crazy imagination.

Even today - if i were standing alone at the corner in this photo - I'd be scared . . .
ReplyDeleteYOU must have been BRAVE . .
My alternative was to miss the bus and that would not have been at all good. Funny how fear can make one a bit courageous. :-)
DeleteBet you're proud of your little girl self, how brave you were!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I was brave, wasn't I. Good for me! Thanks for saying so, Maggie.
