The city for zip code 11101 is Long Island City. It is incorrectly entered as Astoria.

I'll probably have to write something to import this data easily as the zipcodes haven't been updated in a while.

thomaswmanion commented 9 years ago

How do you go about updating the data?

sjlu commented 9 years ago

I have to do this manually by pinging USPS

thomaswmanion commented 9 years ago

Oh I see. It could be made a bit more efficient by making more than 1 lat/long spot for each zip code.

sjlu commented 9 years ago

@thomaswmanion it would, but that'll only be optimal for lat,lng lookups
