I'm Not Convinced This Does What it Purports to Do

It seems to indicate that our house is between 34th and 35th streets (which it isn't), and that the closest blue mailbox to the house is at 36th and Bryant (which I think is unlikely). If I change our address slightly (from 2456 to 2500), it locates our house somewhere in the general vicinity of Minnehaha Parkway. Not that it matters, much, to me - if I want my mail to go out quickly, I drop it off at the Roseville Post Office, which seems to do an extremely good job of getting mail elsewhere ASAP. And if I *really* need something postmarked and on its way, I head to the Airport Post Office.
