- start memorizing new ZIP codes next month.
- The US Postal Service is changing ZIP codes in three area effective
- Jan 23.
- The area between MoPac Blvd, Burnett Rd, Parmer Lane and Research Blvd
- will change to 78758 from 78759.
- The area between MoPac, Research and West Anderson Lane will switch to
- 78757 from 78758

- ======================================================================
- The article goes on to discuss that the reasons for this are so that
- the boundaries will follow natural boundaries more closely and so that
- residents will be able to go to the closer branch offices to pick up
- packages.
