🔎 Did You Know?

Did you know that Hollister is often called the "Earthquake Capital of the World"? It sits right on the Calaveras Fault, part of California's seismic system. However, the town experiences mostly minor tremors, which contribute to the unique "creeping" sidewalks you can spot in some areas. Nature’s way of keeping Hollister on its toes! 🌍✨
