If you live somewhere like Sheepshead Bay, do you have your mail sent to Sheepshead Bay or Brooklyn?
Farmingham was somewhere mentioned in this thread somewhere, I think the last page.
Mail is still addressed addressed to Brooklyn (even if the neighborhood is Sheepshead Bay). Its gets REALLY confusing if you live in Queens, though. They have different neighborhoods and different post offices. For instance, you may live in Astoria (one of the Queens' neighborhoods) and your mail is addressed to Astoria (not Queens).
You're thinking of Farmingdale. Thats a town on Long Island (where I live now).
