About the Palisidian Post
Pacific Palisades was founded in early 1922 by Methodists who migrated west. In September 1924, the fledgling Methodist-based community’s governing body, the Pacific Palisades Association, began publishing a monthly news sheet known as the “Progress,” edited by Thomas R. Gettys. Each issue carried local church and social items and the latest real estate sales in a town being marketed with the slogan “Where the Mountains Meet the Sea.”
Thirty-three year old Alan Smolinisky purchased the Palisadian-Post, Post Printing and the building located at 839 Via de la Paz on December 5, 2012. Smolinisky, a graduate of Palisades High and the University of Southern California, is a dedicated newspaper enthusiast who spends 4-5 hours per day reading. Smolinisky wrote a Viewpoint titled ‘Why I Bought the Palisadian-Post’ in the December 7, 2012 issue of the newspaper explaining his love of the town and its only newspaper. He and his wife, Caroline, a native of Indiana and a fellow USC graduate, live in the Huntington Palisades with their children, dogs and newspapers. “I love that the Post has always been family-owned,” Smolinisky said.
On January 30, 2013, the Los Angeles Times ran a front page article titled “Pacific Palisades newspaper junkie buys his own paper.” “Pacific Palisades is my favorite place on Earth, and the Palisadian-Post is my favorite newspaper,” Smolinisky said. “Since 1928, the Palisadian-Post has never missed a Thursday issue – through fires, floods, earthquakes, the great depression and wars, the paper has always made it to subscribers each week. I have a moral obligation to make sure this newspaper is published every Thursday for as long as I live.”
