Much to the dismay of many Queen Creek residents, the United States Postal Service recently announced that effective July 1, 2009, Pinal county’s ZIP codes will be changing. Thirty ZIP codes in Pinal County will change from beginning with ‘852‘ to beginning with ‘851‘. If your ZIP code began with ‘852‘, the ‘2‘ is now changing to a ‘1‘. For example, if your current ZIP code is ‘85242‘, as of July 1, it will become ‘85142‘.
This annoying change is due to the dramatic population increase in the ‘852‘ area. All East Valley cities fell into this area. The new ‘851‘ ZIP codes will cover an area encompassing nearly 5000 square miles.
Although the change is effective July 1, 2009, there is a one-year transition period, during which, both old and new ZIPs will be valid for mail delivery. It seems like a huge inconvenience, but take it from one who has gone through it, this is one of life’s minor annoyances!

Maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock for the last few years? I consider myself quite internet savvy, not to mention shopping savvy. I was greeted this morning with an email inbox full of “Cyber Monday” offers. I figured this was a phrase that some marketing company concocted this year to follow “Black Friday”. However, after a quick google search, I came to find out that this ploy was coined in 2005! Here is the Wikipedia definition:
The term Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. [1] Whereas Black Friday is associated with traditional brick-and-mortar stores, “Cyber Monday” symbolizes a busy day for online retailers. The premise was that consumers would return to their offices after the Black Friday weekend, making purchases online that they were not able to make in stores. Although that idea has not survived the test of time, Cyber Monday has evolved into a significant marketing event, sponsored by the National Retail Federation’s Shop.org division, in which online retailers offer low prices and promotions.
It makes sense that it was created in 2005, when we all were shopping like crazy because we assumed our homes would all continue to appreciate at a rate of 49% a year!
Happy Cyber Shopping!
