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.

Today is Farmers Market Day!
If it's Wednesday, then it must be the Farmers Market in Downtown Hollister. Need I say more?
But, if you need more, click over to the local Farmers Market's Facebook page.

USED
Recognize this spot at the northern end of downtown Hollister? Anyone recall what used to be here? And, what was used? I wonder if this lot will ever be home to anything again.

Hey, Taxi!
We were waiting for our order at the Burger Factory when the husband asked, "How are we going to get around when we can no longer drive?"
"We can walk. Ride our bicycles," I answered. "Take the bus. Take a taxi."
"Hollister doesn't have taxis," he said.
"Now there are," I said.
"Maybe one or two," he said, as we stood up to get our order of teriyaki chicken, egg rolls, and Philly Cheesesteak.
Lo and behold, the next day, we saw a taxi.
