yeah, they said it may take a while until it's completely active, but I spoke to the woman in charge and we were both looking at google maps when I pointed out exactly where we were. She was familiar with the area, and we discussed local landmarks and the church on the corner at Fairdale and the white house across the street and so on, so I assume this is right.
I heard back from the commission in charge of the addressing and they assure me that the address of Ridge Road is correct -- they say that google maps just hasn't caught up to all the changes yet, and we're not the only ones showing up incorrectly on google. "Any mail sent to that address will definitely get to you, though!"
So for now, we'll just check google maps and mapquest and such every now and then until they catch up with the changes.
Do NOT do a search for "Fairdale, PA" because it will take you out past Pittsburgh.
Search "South Montrose PA" though and that will lead you very close. If you use google maps, you can even scroll over, following State Route 3029, and see the barn, along with my Honda Element parked in front.
