100 Things I Like: The South View from Quien Sabe Road

Misty. A bit of rain. That's how it was yesterday afternoon when I took this photo from that almost last bend before the straightaway down to Highway 25 and Tres Pinos. I like this view anytime of the year. But, on a clear day when the hillsides and mountains are green—wow!

100 Things I Like: The Sacred Heart Church Spire

In the early 1970s, downtown Hollister was still surrounded by orchards, orchards, and more orchards. During the spring, I liked to go up to Park Hill and see the forest of green, which included the trees lining the residential streets. Peeking over the trees was the white spire of Sacred Heart Church.

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.

Lemon cake, lemon cupcake, and ciabatta bread. Heavenly.  The bakery's cinnamon roll, yum.

Heavenly Bakery is open 7 days a week.  Yaay!

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.
