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.

Yep, this sign is for real. It's hanging in the Plaza Stable at the San Juan Bautista State Historic Park in, of course, San Juan Bautista.
Every first Saturday of the month the park holds a Living History Day. What to you know? There's one this Saturday, June 4, 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Here's the link for more details.

Memorial Day
This is a corner of one of the veterans' sections at the Cavalry Cemetery on Hillcrest Road in Hollister.
Thanks to all the former and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Theirs was a difficult decision to make.

You'll find this memorial plaque in front of the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Hollister. It honors some of the local men who died while serving in the Vietnam and Korean Wars.
