233 E Southern Ave Post Office

My roommate received a card from the United States Postal Service stating that there was a package to pick up at the post office located at 233 E. Southern Ave. No problem. I pull up Google maps and enter “post office” in a search for the phoenix metro area. I see a marker on Southern Avenue and I click on it. The address indicates that it is 233 E Southern Ave in Mesa and we start heading out there.

About 15 minutes later I realize that the post office we want is located at 233 E Southern Ave in Tempe — the other direction. Oops.

Upon returning home and searching the awkward post office lookup on USPS.com — there is no post office at 233 E Southern in Mesa. Thankfully, Google Maps provides a mechanism for having those inconsistancies weeded out. I clicked on “edit” and “remove” and told Google that the location doesn’t exist according to the postal service. Thankfully we were not trying to get a tax return out just before the deadline or anything of that nature.
