The Postal Service In La Jolla

The La Jolla Historical Society will launch a new exhibit on August 12 in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the La Jolla Post Office building. Entitled Postmark La Jolla: History of the US Postal Service in La Jolla, the exhibit will feature images, letters, and postcards of the past, and will highlight the history of La Jolla’s own post office. Images are drawn from the over 800 picture postcards in the society’s collection, showing how the landscape looked in the past and how visitors saw La Jolla through their own words. The exhibit will run through November 5, and is open to the public free of charge on Thursdays and Fridays from 12-4pm. (www.lajollahistory.org)    JANE SHIOMI
