Our volunteers are taking a well deserved break for the holiday season. We'll see you all when we reopen on Saturday, January 10th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the La Mesa History Center and McKinney House Museum.
Merry Christmas to those that celebrate. This is a c1940s shot of Grossmont High School's Christmas Pageant Feast Scene. The pageant was introduced in 1925 (some sources say 1926) under the guidance of teacher Eva Quicksall. It ran through 1988 and was wildly popular. If you were ever in the pageant share your stories. #grossmonthighschool #merrychristmas
SANTA SPOTTED OVER LA MESA!
Fear not, a little bit of rain can't stop Santa from his deliveries.
This shot caught him crossing over Lookout Ave (now La Mesa Blvd) just east of Spring Street, c1938.
Here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season.
