Anyone know the town of Blue Ridge

[SGT Rock]

I'm trying to update a map, and the stupid post office is being a pain in the butt.

The new address is 273 Orvin Lance Dr, Blue Ridge, GA 30513, but none of the maps on the internet seem to be able to find that address. Anyone can point me to a map?

It's on highway 76. 20 miles west of Blairsville.

Is there any way you could give me a place mark in Google maps?

Like this: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=34.876294,-84.299319&num=1&t=h&sll=34.863972,-84.324087&sspn=0.036625,0.06403&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=34.876382,-84.299845&spn=0.005202,0.009753&z=17

I looked it up in my road atlas. I can probably get you the coordinates from my car gps. Would that help?

I've driven through there recently and never saw a post office. This is the problem I have with Mapquest and google. Google puts the thing almost on the BMT.

That would work fine.

Fail. It will only tell me where I am now, and I'm not in Blue Ridge. :p

LOL, thanks

The 2004 version of Microsoft Maps & Streets shows the center of Blue Ridge at coordinates 34.85892' North latitude and 84.32929' West longitude. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have this street in its database.

That is the old address. The building is being torn down.

Here, Sgt. Rock, using Google Street View I found the Town and Country Furniture store at 266 and the Appalachian Community Bank at 150 so going from the newspaper article it is within a couple of hundred feet of the red pushpin marker on this map:

The PO itself is too new to be on Google street view but if you look at the satellite view which shows the empty lots.

Here is the article about the location, note the last paragraph:

That is about where I was thinking it would be. Thanks Tater!:D

I am thinking the Orvin Lance Connector is the main road with the bank on it and the Orvin Lance DRIVE is that loop around the furniture store.

But that push pin should be close enough to get somebody to the Post Office.

I've updated the map I was working on with that address Tater:
