100 Things I Like: The Post Office Mural

The wooden mural, created during the 1930s Depression, is a beautiful piece of work. But, I also like that mural because every time I see it, I'm reminded of when the mural was hanging in the post office on Fifth Street. I always felt transported to another place when I entered those doors. It always seemed so dark in there. A sense of reverence, too.

100 Things I Like: The View from the Garage

December 2009

I admit it. I have yet to park in the Briggs Building parking garage on Fourth Street, which you access via Briggs Alley. That you get to via the small parking lot between the Granada Theater and the Vault on Fifth Street.

Hmmm, I wonder how many people don't park in the garage because they can't find the way in. You can't  turn onto Briggs Alley from Monterey Street, because the alley is one way, heading west. And, there's no entrance from Fourth Street. That's too bad. The garage really would be an idea place to park when it's the Farmers Market Day.

But, I digressed. The husband and I like to climb up the four or five flights to the top for the exercise and the view. Also, the art.

100 Things I Like: The Street Festival & Car Show

It's chilly. That's a good enough reason to mention a Hollister event that takes place in the summer. Memories of heat to warm things up, you know.

The Annual Street Festival and Car Show is sponsored by the Hollister Downtown Association. Click here to check out its photos of this past summer's event.

100 Things I Like: Serendipity Gift Shop

Serendipity's window display in 2010

Haven't stepped into the shop at 616 San Benito Street yet? It's a happy chance you'll like what you see. I can usually find something for the sister-in-law there. And, she's quite a difficult person to shop for, I tell you what.

Instead of me telling you what joy and fun you'll find at Serendipty, check out the shop's Web site. Better yet, check it out in person.

A note to FTC:  I wasn't paid or given anything to write what I just wrote. So, move along.
