Although it's correct that La Jolla isn't a city officially, La Jolla *does*
have its own post office and zip code.

From the USPS web site:

Post Office - La Jolla
1140 Wall St
La Jolla, CA 92037-9998
Phone: (800) 275-8777
Fax: (858) 454-9421

Note that it says "La Jolla" rather than "San Diego," even though it *is*
technically in the city of San Diego.

(I used to live in the so-called "Golden Triangle," and got all too familiar
with the various demarcations between La Jolla and its neighbors.)
