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.

Shop Locally: Pietra Santa Winery
This was taken a year ago on a foggy day at the Pietra Santa Winery on Cienega Road. The building as you can see is gorgeous. So is the setting, as many of you know. Never taken a drive out to the winery and beyond on Cienega Road? What are you waiting for!

H is for the Hillsides of Hollister
I admit it. I am biased. The hills (and mountains) of Hollister are simply beautiful, green or golden. This hillside flanks the western side of Union Road, just several miles from downtown.
Nothing like the true Hollister, California, eh?

Way Back When
Recognize any names? The book shows who bought what during the 1930s from Tiffany Motor Company, which is the oldest Ford dealer in California. This year the local business will be celebrating its 101st anniversary.
