Where is this bridge? Can anyone tell me if the graffiti is still there?
Did you know that plans are in action to start building a new bridge in 2011? For details, check out the story in the Hollister Free Lance.
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.

Tuesday in Hollister: Whereabouts is This?
This one ought to be an easy one. But then it may not be if the graffiti has been removed. I took the photo back in January. I've driven over the bridge many times since then. Saturday, for instance. But my mind draws a blank on how it looked. Funny, how that goes.

Tuesday in Hollister #2: Where is this?
You can find several spectacular murals in downtown Hollister. Probably the most well-known mural is on the side of Johnny's Bar and Grill in Wentz Alley.
How about this inspiring mural? What building does it grace?
Don't know where it is, yet? Here's a hint: Across the street is a Mexican bakery.
If you still don't know, scramble the letters: rteslohli puers
Any "oldtimers" out there? I've got some questions for you: What business first used that building? What took over after that business moved to the south side of town? I don't know the answers, but I really would like to know.
Does anyone know when this mural was painted, and who painted it?

Tuesday in Hollister: What Was There?
Dear Friendly Readers,
It's time to try something new here at Take 25 to Hollister. Yep, indeed. Every Tuesday, I'll post a photo of a place in Hollister. Try to guess what it is and/or where it is before I give you the answer. If you have sweet memories of the place, I welcome you to share it with us, either in the comments section or at the Facebook page.
So, here we go. . .
The building stood at the corner of San Benito and Seventh. It was damaged by the Loma Prieta Earthquake of 1989, but it was an arson fire that brought it down a few years later. Do you know what business it was?
If you didn't guess it by now, this clue should do it: The building held 1,194 seats, according to the Cinema Treasures Web site.
Yep, you got it. Click here to see the State Theater in its full splendor.
What happy memories do you have about going to the movies there?
