OB Post Office for Sale!

The building at 4833 Santa Monica Avenue — known as the OB Post Office — is for sale! LoopNet advertises it. For $4,995.000.

It’s been there for decades — back to the 1950s. Yet now it’s on the chopping block. For nearly $5 million. Prime location. The ad above says “Trophy Coastal … Property.”

Many questions abound.

Are there plans to open another post office in Ocean Beach?

Was the community consulted? Does the community even know?

Was the OB Planning Board told? How about the OB Mainstreet Association — did they know? The OB Community Foundation?

Here is more from the ad:

A former lawyer and current grassroots activist, I have been editing the Rag since Patty Jones and I launched it in Oct 2007. Way back during the Dinosaurs in 1970, I founded the original Ocean Beach People’s Rag - OB’s famous underground newspaper -, and then later during the early Eighties, published The Whole Damn Pie Shop, a progressive alternative to the Reader.

  1. Planning Board member here.
    This is the first I’ve heard of it.
    Meeting is next Tuesday. Maybe we should be asking some questions.
