GIS Day 2006 at
City of Carson
Carson, California, USA
This year's display—Traveling the World with the City of Carson—featured postcards collected by city employee, Alicia Tapia. It was a BIG hit. We will display it at the ESRI user conference in 2007.
Alicia has worked for the city of Carson since 1985. About seven years ago, she started asking employees where they were going for vacation and sent them off with the request to "Send me a postcard!" Word spread and 200 plus postcards later, Alicia's collection spans the globe and represents all the continents except Antarctica.
While Alicia has collected several postcards herself, she enjoys traveling the world vicariously through her co-workers. This is the first time Alicia's collection has been organized into a public display, allowing all of us to join her on her postcard tour of the world. We look forward to adding more each year, so if you are a Carson employee, be sure to send Alicia a postcard from your vacation.
