A Hanging at Johnny's

Downtown Hollister has a bit of the feel of an Old West town -- particularly after 5 p.m. when most businesses close up and the tumbleweeds blow down San Benito Street. But on Wednesday, Aug. 5, Johnny's, the famous biker bar, will hold a hanging. No, it's not vigilante justice at work. Rather, it's a smart bit of advertising. A flyer that arrived at The Pinnacle offices this week giving notice of "A HANGING;" or more specifically, the hanging of the "Behind the Bar" sign of the law firm Lombardo & Gilles LLP. From 5-7 p.m., members of the law firm will be on hand for this modern-day hanging at the San Benito Street establishment. Very clever. No word on whether the law firm will try to plea bargain for a better sign location before the hanging. For more info on Johnny's, check out http://johnnysbarandgrill.blogspot.com/
