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.

Spires and Towers
The United Methodist Church stands at the corner of Fifth and San Benito Streets. The building was constructed around 1910 to replace a wooden structure, which was built in 1872. Back then, it was the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Two Vaults
You're looking into the bottom floor of the old Pendergrass Building on the corner of Fifth and San Benito Streets. It's being turned into a restaurant. See the bank vault? Once upon time, this location was home to a bank that was across the street from another bank, which is now a nightclub called the Vault.

More Sideshow Bob?
So, what do you think? Do the hedges remind you of a bunch of Sideshow Bobs (from the Simpson's) after they've gotten haircuts?
And, there is that palm tree on San Benito Street.

Dandy, Delightful, and Delish!
Here's a dandy field of yellow mustard, near the corner of Union and Valley View Roads. A delight to the eye and nose. Also, delish to eat, sauteed in garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil.

What Represents Us?
This plaque stands outside of the San Benito County government building at the corner of Fifth and Monterey Streets. I assume it represents the various aspects of our county. If you had the opportunity to create a plaque, what five scenes would you create?
