Thank you! Please pause this postal code for now. I looked in our reporting and don't see any opportunities or clients from this postal code, either from paid or in general. Joey - let's connect with Tim and Dennis when Tim's back to get a final verdict on this postal code. But if it's 1.5 hours away and Dennis says it's hard to staff, I think it's safe to remove it. It looks like it was originally on the list Dennis provided as West St Paul. Maybe we can work with him to get a different postal code that represents that place better.
