Another Face Up High

I can't help it. Too many long hours working makes a person loopy and, in my case, seeing faces in buildings. Do you think this is what's meant by the face of a building?

This is the building on Fifth and San Benito Streets that "shouts" Mitchell Law Firm from the side facing San Benito Street. I think this building was once home to the Elks Lodge. Doesn't that look like an Elk's head above the middle window? It makes for a good nose to the face.

Sparkle, Sparkle

 

 

Beautiful, isn't it? You'll find this sparkle-sparkle window on San Benito Street in downtown Hollister . Take a walk downtown to see it in person. Also, check out the Blak Sage Gallery of Fine Art while you're down there. You vintage car lovers ought to enjoy the current exhibit.

More Peeking Into Windows

After drinking a beer and sharing garlic fries at Cheap Seats Pub & Grub yesterday afternoon, the husband and I took a stroll on San Benito Street to work them both off. A slow, happy saunter which included stopping into the new San Benito Bene and the Blak Sage Gallery. I wish we had started earlier in the day, as many of the stores had closed or were about to close. Still, we enjoyed ourselves by peeking into closed stores and empty storefronts.

The Smiling Pendergrass

Yep. I'm still looking upwardly. Now, tell me. Doesn't the Pendergrass building look like it's smiling? Do you see its two "eyes" underneath the eaves? Its rather short and abrupt nose? The mouth full of window panes?

What Are You Looking Through?

Hint 1: You'll find this thing on Fifth Street, across from the City Hall.

Hint 2: If a person was sitting in it, she or he would sell you something so you can go in to see the Music Man, which is playing this weekend.
