If I imagine the sidewalks full of people, going in and out of the brightly lit shops and restaurants on San Benito Street, I would think I was on Union Street in San Francisco. Seriously.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.
