Does anyone else HATE pages like this? Just show me the damn map and not 5 different pop up overlays, many animated, depending on how hard scrolled down I am.

Oh, and their "zip code" search is broken, it takes me to the state capital over a hundred miles away, in a totally different climactic zone. Doubly broken.
- tzs 2y agoThey don't have a zip code search as far as I can tell. It asks you to enter your city and state or use the "Surprise me!" button.
- TylerE 2y ago99.9% of web search forms that ask for a city accept a zip code, and are often more accurate when doing so, as even a mid sized city can be composed of dozens of zip codes, never mind places like Central Manhattan where some zipcodes resolve all the way down to single buildings.
- itslennysfault 2y ago...but this page is part of the 0.1% (by your math) that actually wants what it asked for. So, this is just a case of user error. Enter what it asked for and it works great.
- tuumi 2y agoHarrison Township, Michigan goes to Harrison City, PA. I then tried the city to the south - Saint Clair Shores, MI and that took me to San Antonio, Texas. I'm working in East China, Michigan and that took me to East Chicago, Indiana. I ended up just using Detroit, MI to get anything useful. So, no, that doesn't work either.

- Sparkle-san 2y agoNPR could have spent every single taxpayer dollar they received for the year on this one project and it would still be a rounding error on the national budget.
- TylerE 2y agoLess than 1% of NPR funding comes from taxes.
