160118~Downtown shows its vulnerability—The loss of Dorothy
McNett’s Place dealt a serious blow to the downtown and the morale
of the merchants trying to make a go of it in Hollister. It should
be a wake-up call for our local leaders to focus their energies on
stimulating our downtown and our business sector as a whole.
One of the reasons businesses are failing in Hollister is they are too stupid to realize that most of Hollisters residents work out of town and don’t get back into town until between 5 PM and 8 PM.
So the businesses have to use their brains and stay open later.
