[edit] Waldon doesn't exist?

This is one of those fascinating bit of political geography. Waldon doesn't exist by any standard I can find. The USPS doesn't even recognize it as a valid city. Goto the zip code lookup, and punch "waldon, ca". It will return "93283" which isn't for Waldon, but Weldon, CA down by Bakersfield. If you use the USPS zip code lookup for 1365 Treat Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA (Its the address for Pleasant Hill (BART station) - it will come back with 94597 (Walnut Creek). If you try waldon instead of WC - it will kick back as invalid. Another fun fact as its not a city, it doesn't seem to have a website. It should be: http://www.ci.waldon.ca.us/ (but its not).

The reason why this fascinates me so much is because I currently live in the area classified as "Waldon". All of my main is address to Walnut Creek, with a WC zip code. Now, don't get me wrong. I've seen the signs in the area notifying that it is an Unincorporated section of Contra Costa County. I'm going to go enquirer with the local governments to see what I can find out - because this is just damnedably odd. --ShakataGaNai (talk) 04:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
