Last week the USPS announced that parts of Williamsburg would be stripped of the hip 11211 zip code, only to be given a less palindromic one: 11249. The USPS has now sent us (in the mail!) a map of the breakdown, pictured above, where a green line separates the old from the new. As you can see, the (let's face facts) ugly zip code is being given to residents who live between Bedford Avenue and the waterfront, meaning another nightmare for luxury condo dwellers! They won't be getting their own new fancy post office, either.
The 11211 graffiti that's long been tagged on a storefront in the neighborhood just missed the cut-off, and will still be in the 11211 zone (phew)—it's located at 141 Broadway. What side are you on?
