May 16 to May 22 Theme: The Little Details in Downtown Hollister
Next time you park in the lot on Sixth and East Street, take a look at the tree across Wentz Alley. There's a figure hanging out in the tree. Do you see it?
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.

It's amazing what details you can see in windows. That's the reflection of the rooftop of the Intero Real Estate Services in this window.

The Hollister Free Lancer
May 16 to May 22 Theme: The Little Details in Downtown Hollister
Once upon a time this used to be the icon for the Hollister Free Lance. Pretty cool, isn't it?
You can find this little plaque on the building on San Benito Street (near South) that's now home to Java Bagels. I'm guessing that the newspaper used to have offices there until it moved to Sixth Street. The local newspaper has been around since the late 1800s. Click here if you'd like to read the December 10, 1886 issue.

Shop Locally: Penny Wise Drug Store
May 16 to May 22 Theme: The Little Details in Downtown Hollister
Cute little dress, isn't it? You'll find it at the Penny Wise Drug Store on San Benito Street, near Sixth Street.
Penny Wise Drug Store is the last of the independent pharmacies in downtown Hollister. The Rosati family has run the business since the late 1940s. Talk about details. You'll find a lot at Penny Wise. Not only can you get your prescriptions filled, but you can find a little bit of everything in the store, from kids' clothing to jigsaw puzzles, jewelry, scarves, religious items, gift ware, musical stuffed animals, and much more.
