Well without even checking on the map if it's right or not it most
likely means he lives in Iowa and is closest to the Minneapolis-St. Paul
area. Just like plenty of people in upper SC list Charlotte as their
closest metro area.
And like Randal said with high feedback it's a pretty moot point as
long as he's in the US, doesn't really matter to me exactly what address
is on the envelope as long as payment arrives to them and my item
magically arrives by the UPS fairy shortly afterwards.
Then again having driven for Dominos I can also say for sure that
about 5% of Americans don't even know where they're at at any one time.
At least not well enough to be of much use in telling someone else where
they are, so he may just be wrong about where Min/St Paul is. I knew
the entire area map off the top of my head, and most times once I
finally got a right address I knew where their house really was relative
to everything else much better than the people living there..
