Tacos. Everyone has a favorite style of taco, perhaps two or three. Some enjoy a simple crunchy-shelled fast food style. Others enjoy something traditional with a few ingredients. A few enjoy tacos with a little fusion of another culture’s culinary influence. One of my favorites - of which there are many - is a specific taqueria or street-style taco. It is the featured recipe this week, and with a little adaptation from how it is commonly made, is quite easy to replicate at home.

Morgan Hill, Gilroy and Hollister all suffer from varying degrees of violence, intimidation and graffiti. Perhaps a strategy being used in a neighboring city could help alleviate this situation here.

For the first time in a while, the Hollister Rally will finish in the black financially.

Hollister National won five straight games on the way to the championship, while two other Hollister teams won titles as well.

The Hollister Free Wheelers recently got back from the U.S. Power Soccer regional tournament in Arizona. There were eight teams in the tournament, and the Hollister team took second place. Watch interviews here and see a related story in Friday's paper.
