The exhibition will highlight many of La Jolla's renowned commercial enterprises, past and present, that operated over the last century. "We realize the global economy is a reality," says the Society's Executive Director, John Bolthouse. "But it will always be La Jolla's great local businesses that will ensure this town's unique economic identity." As the date for the opening of Merchants & Memories approaches, the content of the exhibit will continue to be developed. "To make this effort truly special, we're involving today's businesses in tomorrow's history by asking them to contribute images, records and memorabilia," says Michael Mishler, the Society's Archivist/Curator. "This is about their heritage and we encourage their participation." Volunteers are needed for this and future exhibitions.
