Holley Cooley and Gerald Burkholder met each other for the first time at Collins Bar on December 21, 2019. Though Holley parked in front of Collins Bar, she mistakenly walked five blocks in the wrong direction before Gerald came and rescued her. Their date ended up being so amazing that the two decided to meet up the following night for dinner at their favorite burger joint, Baha Burger. They’ve been together ever since.
