San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 25 ugh they live within the city limits of Beverly Hills and pay Beverly Hills taxes and live in Beverly Hill style mansions they are degraded with a Los Angeles zip code address. While some people who live in the "slums" of Los Angeles City have a Beverly Hills postal address. The Los Angeles Times told of another victim of the disagreement between the post office boundaries of Beverly Hills and the actual boundaries of Beverly Hills. This poor fellow lived within the city limits of Beverly Hills but when he went to the Beverly Hills public library he was denied a card because his drivers license with his postal address showed the city he lived in as Los Angeles. He then went to the Los Angeles public libary to apply for a card. The librarian looked up his address on a chart and sent him to Beverly Hills. What eventually happened was he went to a Los Angeles County (not city) public library and got a county library card. Drove to Burbank which has reciprocal priviledges and got a Burbank card and then went to the Beverly Hills library since because of a second set of reciprocal priviledges a Burbank card is good at the Beverly Hills library. -- David Whiteman sdcsvax!sdccs6!whiteman UCSD Medical School, La Jolla CA {insert boring .signature file here}
