Why does the same street address have two different zip codes?

Thanks for your sleuthing, archy.

I don't know, unless the 38016 is a possible typo of the last number or a glitch from really bad cop handwriting, which is entirely believable if you've ever looked at Memphis PD police reports.

Yahoo maps shows a 9-digit zip code for 2840 Morning Lake Drive address as *2840 Morning Lake Drive, Cordova, TN 38018-8499* but it's at least possible that the difference between the 200 and 300-series apartments could have their mail delivered by different Post Office branches- without looking at a zip directory map, I vaguely recall some overlap in that approxiimate area, and like the photo cutline said, that corner of Cordova IS unincorporated, so it's possible.

I don't think it's a big or critical detail. But I'm checking....

[Well, when somebody asks for my address and I don't care to give my real one, I've got a better answer than *1060 West Addison St. Chicago, Ill. 60613* now, don't I....]

Nope, it just has one: 60613!
