Also, the address still EXISTS after a hundred years? No rezoning, no town name change or street name change? Many rural houses built in 1920 would not have survive 100 years without major overhauls.
It was addressed to Marty McFly!
Wtf sort of professional journalist writes "gonna" in an article on a news site?

I can't tell if this is a very elaborate grammar joke that I don't know enough to understand or a troll.
Neither! (Or, rather, it's DNA's very elaborate grammar joke that I stole.)
I wonder, in 2100 will there be a UDP packet delivered from 100 years ago?

This! Thank you for your service to category theory! Comparisons like this are what is going to lead us into the next 100 years.

The response from USPS is what I expected. It's unlikely this was in the system for 100 years, but someone put it in the mail recently and the USPS decided to deliver it.
The story seems to be either to get clicks or to intentionally make the USPS look bad, perhaps it has something to do with the election.

Meanwhile I have significant less mail, and on mail that had a stamp I see it took them a week to deliver it (this is local mail, not international). Never seen I such issues with mail as long as I lived here.
A lot of jokes on here about this being an improvement for USPS, or a distraction. The truth is that USPS performance has improved dramatically over the last two weeks.

Their Informed Delivery service (where I can see what mail is being delivered to me) now says my address is not covered, when it worked for me 2 months ago (not sure when it was disabled, since recently I started worrying about lost mail).
