Grant, if you ever make it down to this remote part of North Carolina, I will certainly provide you with a free beer and it won't be mass produced or lite.

I added myself but must have botched up the address, as it put the pin in the center of my zip code instead of my home address. Not really much of a problem, as I am sure anyone wanting to visit, would likely PM first and not just drop by. If they don't so other family will be completely surprised by kilted visitors, so be it.

I'll certainly drink your beer Brian but to be honest I'd really love to try your bread.

I'm curious, in Canada my Postal Code is specific to the dozen or so houses in my cul-de-sac. How large of an area does a Zip code cover?

From the quite small, to the (usually) quite huge. Mine covers about 12x12 city blocks.

There is a 4 digit addition that can get down to within half a block or so, but few people bother with it.

Thanks, Steve, for adding this feature, which works better than the old map.

A sgian dubh might be an appropriate member marker...

Put my marker in. Looks like the Chicago Rabble need to get busy.

I live in an apartment building, and I have noticed that everyone in my line has the same zip+4, so hardly individual. Even with that, mail frequently goes astray.

I understand, Galician. Of course I qualified my remarks with the modifier "smaller." New York hasn't been downsized, has it?

In my old apartment building my floor (10 apartments) had the same +4. Now in my new condo, my whole side of the street had the same +4.

As for the main 5 digit Zip, my city has 10 of them, but the next town only has one for the whole town, which is about half the size, but less populated. I have also heard about single buildings or companies getting their own 5 digit zip code if they receive allot of mail.
