2011 Hollister Motorcyle Rally

No. The City of Hollister has not sanctioned an official motorcycle rally this year.

BUT.

There are a whole lot of private motorcycle events going on this weekend to commemorate the 1947 event that many say is why Hollister is considered the Birthplace of the American Biker. All these events are open to the public. For details, check out these links:

Art All Around

The swirly part of this sign always catches my eye when I'm traveling north on East Street, between South and Seventh Streets. The swirl reminds me of the yin-yang symbol. It also makes me think of 1960s pop art. So, where will you find this sign? In the yard of the McKinnon Lumber Company.

Looking Up: Lamp Posts

Doesn't it almost look like these lamp posts are dancing? And, right in front of the Veterans Memorial Building.

A June Rain!

It was raining when we came out of the movie theater in Hollister yesterday evening around 6:30. Not just a sprinkle, but a pouring. It was gently raining when we came out of La Villa de Jerez an hour later. The photo shows how much water was on the sidewalk and gutter by then. Amazing!

From the Gabilans to the Diablos

We really live in a mountainous area. This photo was taken from Fremont Peak, which is in the Gabilan range. The mountain range across the valley is the Diablo range.
