Reflecting on what thou might eat at the Pendergrass Restaurant?
Reflecting on what's behind thee?
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.

2013 Mexican Independence Day Parade
Yesterday by happen chance, I learned that the Mexican Independence Day was going to take place in historical Downtown Hollister, so I jumped on my bicycle and pedaled over. It was a beautiful day for a parade.
Although a short parade, it was quite festive, watching the horsemen and horsewomen, the youngsters, dancers, musicians, and, politicans march their way down San Benito Street. For more photos of the parade, head over to Take 25's album on Facebook.
Today, September 16, is actually Mexican Independence Day. On September 16, 1810, Mexico declared itself free of Spain and hence began the Mexican War of Independence. For a summary of El Grito de Independencia, check out this Wikipedia article.

In Elk's Time
I never knew there was a clock at the top of the Elk's building at 5th & San Benito until 10 years ago when I looked at a photo I had taken. I should've looked up more often when I was a kid.
Did the Elk's horns move like the hands on a clock? Anyone know. What a great way to teach a kid how to tell time. The right horn is on the 3 and the left horn is on the 7, so the time is . . . .

Finding Groucho in Downtown Hollister
I dunno. Put a big nose and mustache on this pole. What do you think: Groucho Marx?
Many thanks to the Hollister Downtown Association for installing and maintaining the beautiful hanging plants in historical downtown Hollister.
