All, including La Jolla, are San Diego post offices. It has been 38 years
since I worked at the main post office here in SD (college job in parcel
post and international mail sorting), but North Park is 92104, Hillcrest is
92103, I forget Grantville (it may be 92116), 92115 is Rolando/College Area,
92105 is City Hights, I think Point Loma/Ocean Beach is 92107. Rancho
Bernardo used to be 92128 I think. My memory is a poor thing. As for La
Jolla having 5 codes, I imagine that UCSD may have one of them. Getting 5
codes in La Jolla would mean expanding what most people call La Jolla.

We have Paradise Hills and Logan Heights, but both are too poor to have a
separate identity. <s> Neither do they have a local post office as I
remember. Logan Heights shares 92101 with parts of downtown I think. Its
been a long time.
Charlie, having fun
OB FOOD: I made this recently after an absence of a few years on my table.
It was as good as I remembered it.
BACON POTATO SOUP
Source: unknown
1/4 lb. bacon, diced
1/4 cup diced celery
3 leeks
2 tbs. flour
2 cups water
2 cups milk
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. chopped parsley
Slice the leeks lengthwise. Remove the root end and most of the green end.
Slice the leeks across the grain and soak in water until needed. Add the
bacon pieces to a heavy saucepan and cook until brown. Add the celery and
leeks. Cook until just soft. Add the flour and cook for 3 minutes. Add the
water and milk. Slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the potatoes
and simmer for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender. Check the
seasonings. Serve warm garnished with parsley.
