AT&T UPGRADES HISTORIC LA MESA BUILDING

December 20, 2009 (La Mesa) – La Mesa Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting earlier this month to celebrate AT&T’s aesthetic enhancements  to its building at the corner of La Mesa Boulevard and Spring Street. Those enhancements included addition to the building's exterior of tiled mosaics depicting scenes from the company’s history.

“AT&T strives to be a good neighbor and these historic photos help our building fit in with The Village in La Mesa,” said Brian Gray, director of AT&T External Affairs. “I'd like to thank the La Mesa Council for their leadership and helping us identify a way for this building to connect with pedestrians and La Mesa.”

AT&T has been in business for 130 year, with an original mission to “connect any person to any other person - anywhere in the world,” Gray recalled. “Guess what? Today our mission is the same - to connect people so they can communicate. Now, as you can see from these photos, the trucks and equipment have changed a bit. The people look a little different. The way people communicate has changed, but AT&T is still providing the connections.”
