A motorcycle-friendly town, for sure. "The city is intermittently the site of an annual motorcycle rally around July Fourth. The riot at the original 1947 event was the basis for the 1953 film The Wild One."

Vacant Lot, Parking Garage (Hollister) - San Benito County  2021

Alas, the actual phone is missing from the pay phone booth. When was the last time I actually used a pay phone? Maybe in 2010? Maybe.

Oh . . . speaking of pay phones. I don't think I've ever posted a photo of the phone in Death Valley that was a favorite of my brother Joe and myself. So here ya go:

I decided to take a small side trip over to Hollister on my way down to Monterey.
