I was wondering where the Polaris Area Post Office was recently...
I was at the Wendy's at Polaris (map) when I noticed a post office across the street. I took a couple of photos of the Post Office... because it was kind of puzzling to me... that it was there in plain sight... in an area, I am pretty familiar with but I had never noticed it.
I tried looking up officially if the Post Office I saw on Polaris Parkway was THE Post Office for Columbus Ohio 43240, or if what is described as a "Contract Unit" on the sign was something else... it is in a gas station / Tim Horton's / little store full of Buckeye stuff and more.

I was not sure what "Contract Unit" means on the sign. I tried looking it up on the official USPS site, no luck.
I was able to find this on Wikipedia:
"A contract postal unit (or CPU), a station or branch operated by a contractor, typically in a store or other place of business."
If you ever want to see the greatest map for looking at where a ZIP code is check out USPS ZIP Code Map, which offers this disclaimer:
"The USPS considers zip codes to be delivery routes instead of areas. There may be differences between this depiction and actual zip code mailing address. Point zip codes (PO Box, single buildings, etc.) may not be depicted as areas but should still be displayed near their proper locations. This is the most accurate free USPS zip code map available online! 41,533 zip code locations. "
I still love that site for looking at where Central Ohio ZIP codes are.
