100 Things I Like: The Alleys of Hollister

The husband and I like walking or pedaling our bikes through the alleys of Hollister.  Wentz Alley is probably the most familiar of all the alleys in downtown Hollister. What? Can't place it. That's the alley where the biker mural is painted on the side of Johnny's Bar.

Main, Elmore, Furlong, Hodges, Canal, Convent, Long, Swope, Grubb, and Smith Alleys are a few of the other alleys in town. Try to find them, why don't you?

100 Things I Like: Recology San Benito County

Recology San Benito County offers a comprehensive garbage and recycling system, which I have taken for granted. Hazardous waste, yard waste, recyclable items, electronic waste, you name it, Recology can probably pick it up or tell you where to drop it off. Here's its Web site link to access a lot of info about recycling and garbage collection.

By the way, check out the sides of the Recology garbage trucks for student art work that won in its annual poster contest.

100 Things I Like: Super Taqueria

The first time the husband and I walked into Super Taqueria, we walked right back out. The garbage can was overflowing and flies were buzzing around it. Gracias, pero no. That was eight years ago.

Earlier this year, we needed nutrition quickly and craving burritos. since Super Taqueria was nearby, we decided to give it a try. All this time, we could've been eating  yummy burritos at a rather affordable price. As for the trash problem. None that I can see.

Super Taqueria is located at 460 Tres Pinos Road (north side).

100 Things I Like: The Robot

When I'm walking, I discover things I've missed when I'm driving, or even riding my bicycle. Who knows how long this robot has been residing down at the cannery? I wonder how many times I  have quickly glanced down that driveway on San Benito Street and just saw nothing but tanks.
