revoked, but an aide from
Congressman Charlie Dent's office told me this month that the use of "Zionsville 18092" shall continue, although the office closure is permanent. Had we been forced to use "Hereford 18056," I'd REALLY be livid. There are many uses of zip codes such as insurance rates, marketing, and GPS that stood to be skewed in such a case. Could you imagine Hereford extending almost to Interstate 476 on the zip-code map?

could have passed an Act of
Congress requiring the USPS to allow the continued use of "Zionsville 18092." That is what I had proposed when I learned of the final USPS decision. Had this closure occurred a few years earlier, it would have had the funding available to move the Zionsville space into Old

The first
Morning Call link that I added to the Zionsville article says that its post office served "1,000 people" and then "1,000 residents," when it actually meant about 1,000 residences. Over 2,800 people were residents of the zip code in the 2000 census (almost 3 1/2 times as many as the Hereford

Hereford has been used to serve the
Zionsville residents since January 2009 since it is the closest location with the necessary space and it is also served by the Lehigh Valley Regional PO (its zip code is 18056.) During the hearing, Reiss said that he couldn't guarantee that our zip code wouldn't be

There is a north/south divide in area code between the Emmaus and
Pennsburg telephone exchanges which passes south of the village of Zionsville. It splits the zip code so that Zionsville proper and Old Zionsville, Dillingerville, Sigmund, and most of Powder Valley have 610 and so Corning, Hosensack,

Until 1990, Zionsville customers had a rural-delivery address format requiring an "RD1" for points west of the PO location or "RD2" for the eastern portion. We also had to receive new street-address numbers at that time in order to comply with the mandate from the emerging Lehigh County 911 system.

I predictably didn't find out about this until almost two months later in the East Penn Free Press, which had more thorough coverage of these events than the
Morning Call did. The residents requested a second hearing at a more convenient time but were rebuffed, as they were also with their petition

I have lived in the
Zionsville area (just west of Powder Valley) since the end of 1979 and I never imagined that we'd lose our post office, let alone by the callous, selfish stunt played by the owners. This did not occur by the USPS's doing. Former Upper Milford Supervisor Henry Kradjel (pronounced

Although it had at least the three months' notice required by law, the USPS did not notify us of the impending closure until three weeks in advance. It had one public hearing in

I apologise since the date mentioned above was one day before when it correctly will be, 29 March at 7 PM at the new Upper Milford Township Building (which was formerly Kings Highway School.) It will be part of the Hivel Und Dahl Society's quarterly meeting.
