One of the sweetest views in San Benito County is from Union Road, just pass the intersection at Airline Highway (aka Highway 25). This is just a bit of that view.
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.

A View from Union Road

How Do You Enter the Parking Garage?
The four floor parking garage, as viewed from San Benito Street. |
So, I ask again: How do you enter the parking garage?
Fourth Street view. |
No.
From San Benito Street?
Nope.
From Monterey Street?
Uh-uh.
From Fifth Street?
Kinda.
Briggs Alley?
Bingo!
You enter the parking garage via Briggs Alley, which you access by driving through the small public parking lot between the Vault and the Granada Theater that is on Fifth Street.
Huh?
Yeah.
So, if anyone says to you during the Farmer's Market season (May through September) that you can conveniently park in the parking garage, know this: Be sure you get there before the farmers and vendors set up their booths and tables.
Update: I forgot to mention that Briggs Alley is one-way. I have been told that on Farmer's Market Day, people are allowed to drive the reverse way on Briggs Alley so that they can enter the parking garage. Seems to me the powers-that-be ought to make that change permanently.
That gap between the garage and the other building (Granada Theater) is Briggs Alley. |

Costumes?
They—the costumes—can probably be bought at Lost Treasures on 5th Street. (Cross street is Sally Street.) But, one never knows. They may be available at Maverick Welding Supply. It's difficult to say which building the sign post is on. That's how it looked last week.

Things to Watch for at the Airport
One of my favorite "caution" signs is over at the airport. It's an essential sign, no doubt about it. It also brings up silly thoughts as well. You can find the sign near the new dog park.

Skateboard Dancer
This photo was luckily clicked as the skateboarder, unaware, gracefully zoomed down the sidewalk.
