USPS, ON THE OTHER HAND, STILL LIKES ‘CLUTCH CITY’ The marketing-giddy corners of the internets may be buzzing today about the new “City with No Limits” branding campaign for Houston, but the U.S. Postal Service, it seems, is still stuck on an earlier nickname for the city. Reader Christopher Andrews tweets this screenshot showing the results that appear if you ask the USPS website to list all cities in the 77002 Zip Code. Strangely, “Clutch City” does not appear in the results for 77027 — the Zip Code of the former Houston Summit (now Lakewood Church), where the Houston Rockets played when they won the NBA championship in 1994 and 1995. The team didn’t move into the Toyota Center (in 77002) until 2003. [Twitter; try your own Zip Code search here] Screenshot: Christopher Andrews
77046 was the zip code for “Clutch City”
How sweet it is!!!!!
This past year I briefly lived in 77002 and anytime I would open the Weather Underground weather app on my phone, it said I was located in Clutch City, TX. Always brought a smile to my face.
Too funny. 77025 is both Astroworld, TX and Astrodome, TX
77054 (Reliant Stadium) – Gridiron, Tx
77008 HEIGHTS TX or HOUSTON HEIGHTS TX
