Cracking the Zip Code: Here's How to Find Your Indy Code
Alright, enough suspense. Here are a few ways to crack the zip code code (see what I did there?):
- The Old-Fashioned Mail Method: Dig through that junk mail pile and see if a friendly bill or postcard has your zip code helpfully displayed. Bonus points if it's addressed to your neighbor - just don't forget to return it!
- Get Techy With a Zip Code Lookup Tool: There are a ton of websites and apps (some even free!) that can help you pinpoint your zip code based on your address. Just type in your street address and voila - zip code glory awaits!
- Ask a Wise Neighbor (But Maybe Not the One with the 15 Flamingos in Their Yard): Chances are, your neighbor has been rocking the same zip code for years and can enlighten you. Just avoid the house with the slightly-too-large collection of lawn ornaments. Trust me.
Remember: Zip codes can be specific to a small area, so don't rely on your friend who lives across town to give you the right one.
