Happy Hollister

How about a game of finding not-hidden things in a photo? Can you see: 

• 2 lamp posts with hanging baskets of flowers
• a very cool vintage truck
• a driver getting in (or out) of her car, possibly going to (or coming from) Country Rose Cafe
• 2 benches
• South Street sign

2014 Memorial Day Ceremony

Yesterday, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9242 hosted the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Building. Speakers, including representatives of the VFW, Ladies Auxiliary VFW, and American Legion, reminded us of the courageous service of our military men and women.

Walking on Main Street

Until this year, we could walk down the middle of San Benito Street after a parade or during the Hollister Rally or the Hollister Street Festival and Car Show. Since the start of the Hollister Farmers' Market, we have been able to stroll between Fourth and Seventh Streets every Wednesday afternoon.

I like it.

It can only be the beginning of something kind of wonderful for our sweet town. 

A Peep of Beauty

The other afternoon I was walking by the Hollister United Methodist Church on Fifth Street and noticed that the stained glass windows were slightly visible. Normally, you can't see them from the outside. The windows are stunning. Click here to get an idea of how they look from the inside.
