The Gabilan Mountains that we see beyond San Benito Street never stops to amaze me. I love how they tower over the city. I took them for granted as a kid, but then what do kids know.
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.

Coming into Hollister from the North

Spring!
The first moment of Spring starts at 9:57 AM today. So says the Old Farmer's Almanac.
The coming of Spring usually makes me go search for this song by Daniel Valdez, a local musician and one of the founding members of El Teatro Campesiño. It's a sweet song called "Primavera" from his 1973 record Mestizo.

The Wizard's Cafe
When you're driving north on San Felipe Road, do you sometimes notice the Wizard's Cafe on the right as you're passing by the airport? If you're like me, you think, "Gee, I forget about the Wizard's Cafe." Or, if you haven't been there before, maybe, "I should try it some time."
The Wizard's Cafe is a neat diner run by Corbin for its employees and customers. It's also open to the public. According to Corbin's website, the cafe is open from Thursday to Saturday, 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
And, yes, that's a mural of Marlon Brando's character from the movie, The Wild One.

Hollister Tamales and Tee-shirts!
Here's another local tee-shirt that outshines any fictional one! If you want one, head over to the Progresso Tamale Parlor on 230 Third Street.
