The Brick Beauty

If you're gonna take photos from 5th & San Benito, you cannot go home without one of the beautiful brick building on the northeast corner. Right? Right!

In Elk's Time

I never knew there was a clock at the top of the Elk's building at 5th & San Benito until 10 years ago when I looked at a photo I had taken.  I should've looked up more often when I was a kid.

Did the Elk's horns move like the hands on a clock? Anyone know. What a great way to teach a kid how to tell time. The right horn is on the 3 and the left horn is on the 7, so the time is . . . .

Finding Groucho in Downtown Hollister

I dunno. Put a big nose and mustache on this pole. What do you think: Groucho Marx?

Many thanks to the Hollister Downtown Association for installing and maintaining the beautiful hanging plants in historical downtown Hollister.

One 'ell of a Law Firm

Lawyers! Many can't stand them. That is,  until one is needed. And, then, they hope they've found one 'ell of a lawyer.

Hanging on the Corner of 5th & San Benito

One afternoon the Husband and I were sitting on the bench at the southwest corner of 5th and San Benito, after waddling down the sidewalk from eating a couple of yummylicious burgers at Grillin & Chillin Downtown. That's quite a delightful corner to watch the world go by on a lovely afternoon. As usual, the little non obtrusive camera found its way out of my purse and into my hands to click away. Voila!

Without trying, I now have a series I shall call Hanging on the Corner of 5th and San Benito in Hysterical... okay, Historical...Downtown Hollister. Short title: The View from 5th & San Benito.

Bet you didn't know the series started last Friday with this post? Me, neither.

"The Plane, The Plane"

Who knows where this shop is in  historical downtown  Hollister? Who remembers what shop was there before it? (I don't know.) And, hmmm, who said, "The Plane, The Plane" and in what TV show?
