Very true! My town is listed as Coatesville, but I do not live in Coatesville at all. And Coatesville is in one county and I am just across the line in another!!

Same here with my town, which I don't live in either. Town only has a post office and maybe 10 houses or less, but the post office serves an area of about 40 square miles.

As far as I am aware, John Benz has always listed his address as 6th Avenue, not 6th Street.

Also, (and this is more common than many would suspect) a person's postal delivery address is not necessarily indicative of the city or town or other geopolitical area within which they reside. The city designation of a postal delivery address is, in most cases, simply that of the post office which receives and delivers the mail to that address.

Sorry for the typo. But, 6th Ave. is still in the city of Cincinnati and there is still no room to grow any decent amount of daylilies.
I'm very familiar with a postal address not matching the city you actually live in. I live in a rural area and my postal address lists Hamilton which is the closest city to my area. This is not the case for 6th street or Avenue in Cincinnati. They are both in the city and no place other than Cincinnati.
Now 20 miles North of Cincinnati you would be in rural farming area and there would be plenty of land to grow daylilies. That is why mr. Benz is growing them there.,

There must be something more than a typo at work here.

Have you tried entering Mr. Benz's address into Google Maps?

Her last sentence says Mr, Benz is growing outside the city.

Exactly. I live in a rural area near the hamlet in which I grew up. We have a Post Office Box at the local Post Office just a mile from the house. BUT our street address lists a city seven miles away. Why? Because that's where mail deliveries originate, if you choose to get your mail on a rural route.

It gets confusing at times, especially when you order things on the Internet. If they're being shipped by US Mail, they have to come to the PO Box; but if they're being shipped by UPS or FedEx, they have to go to the street address.

I live in a different county than my address city listed. Butler co and Logan co both have a Harper Rd, so it can be confusing to
Fed Ex and others. I live 14 mi from Lewisburg.
