Editing La Jolla (section)

===Demarcation===
The neighborhoods's border starts at [[Pacific Beach, San Diego|Pacific Beach]] to the south and extends along the Pacific Ocean shoreline north to include [[Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve]] ending at [[Del Mar, California|Del Mar]]. La Jolla encompasses the neighborhoods<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ruthmillsteam.com/lajollamap.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20061027014156/http://www.ruthmillsteam.com/lajollamap.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=October 27, 2006 |title=map of La Jolla neighborhoods |publisher=Ruthmillsteam.com |access-date=June 30, 2010}}</ref> of Bird Rock, [[Windansea Beach]], the commercial center known as the Village of La Jolla, Muirlands, [[La Jolla Shores]], La Jolla Farms, [[Torrey Pines, San Diego|Torrey Pines]], and [[Mount Soledad]] to name a few.

The City of San Diego defines the neighboorhood's eastern boundary as Gilman Drive and the [[Interstate 5 in California|Interstate 5 freeway]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/lajolla/index.shtml |title=San Diego City Department |publisher=Sandiego.gov |access-date=June 30, 2010}}</ref> and the northern boundary as UCSD.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoodmaps/northern.shtml |title=Northern Neighborhood &#124; Neighborhood Maps |publisher=Sandiego.gov |access-date=June 30, 2010 |archive-date=May 6, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506064629/http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoodmaps/northern.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The [[United States Postal Service]] defines a somewhat larger area, assigning the neighborhood the 92037 [[ZIP Code]], recognizing it as a historically and geographically distinct area. This unique ZIP code allows addresses to read La Jolla, CA, and is the only neighborhood within the City of San Diego so recognized. Additionally, it is in the 919xx/920xx sequence used for suburban and rural ZIP Codes in San Diego County, rather than the 921xx sequence used for the remainder of the City of San Diego. These conditions sometimes lead to the erroneous impression that La Jolla is a separate city, rather than a part of San Diego. The 92037 ZIP code extends the northeasterly boundary to Genesee Avenue and the northerly boundary to [[Del Mar, California]]. The UCSD campus, also part of La Jolla, has ZIP Codes 92092 and 92093.

Despite the city and postal service definitions, La Jolla does not have universally accepted boundaries. In the 1980s, the trustees of Scripps Hospital voted to move the campus from downtown La Jolla to [[University City, San Diego|University City]], east of Interstate 5 and not within the traditional boundaries of La Jolla. The governing documents of the hospital required it to be located in La Jolla, however. A court ruled that "La Jolla" exists merely as a "state of mind" and thus allowed the relocation of the hospital.<ref>Morgan, Neil.
