They Might Say. . .

If this post and lamp could speak, would they say, "Take me to your leader."

Or, "Hey,  Dudes! Where's a good place for a beer? Want to join us?"

The Colorful Brown Alley

Batman's Gotham City has dark dead-end alleys. Not our town, thank goodness. For instance, on Brown Alley, towards the Monterey Street end, you can see this gorgeous blast of color smiling at you.

View from the Old Courthouse

Now, that's an interesting view of the Hollister United Methodist Church from the Old Courthouse. It's almost like the building has eyes.

View from the Briggs Garage

While waiting for the traffic light at Fourth and San Benito Streets to turn green the other day, I noticed movement on top of Briggs Garage. "You can really see those guys standing on the rooftop," I said to the Husband, pointing to two young men looking towards the east.

"People probably see us, too, when we're standing in that same spot," he said.

"I wonder what craziness they're up to."

"The same thing we are when we're up there, to see the view."

So, this photo is a view from the Briggs Garage, looking towards the southwest.

2014 Hollister Airshow — June 14 & 15

The Hollister Airshow is one of the major annual events in San Benito County. And, it's coming up in eight days on the Flag Day/Father's Day weekend, June 14 and June 15.

The airshow will be held at the Hollister Municipal Airport. It will start at 11:30 AM, with gates opening at 9 AM, each day. Along with watching aerobatics pilots perform death defying stunts, guests will see pilots do the right stuff in experimental planes, jet warbirds, and other aircraft. In addition,  Jason Pullen will execute an amazing motorcycle stunt show and the Air Force Reserve will blow guests mind with an exhibition of its 10,000 horsepower jet car. On Saturday, after the airshow, Donald Elvis and the Hound Dogs will hold a rock-and-roll concert in one of the airport hangars. For more details about the Hollister Airshow performers, check out this link.

Tickets will be available at the gate: $15 for adults and teenagers and $10 for children, 6 to 12 years old. You can also purchase tickets before June 14 at the Hollister Airport Manager's office.

If you purchase tickets online by June 7, midnight, or at the Hollister Farmers Market on Wednesday, June 11, the cost of tickets is $10, regardless of age.

This year, the County Express is offering a free shuttle to the Hollister Airshow. Click here for the schedule. If you prefer to drive, parking will be available at $5 per car.
