Downtown Residents Not Being Counted In Census 2010

I've done some mailings downtown, and have had problems getting actual mailing lists for certain buildings, so this doesn't surprise me. I think the Fort Shelby was one such place. Hey, on the plus side, you probably get less junk mail.

JL, aren't the Leland and the Fort Shelby classified as hotels?

Well, if I remember right the mail house told me that people living there didn't technically have addresses, the mail just all went to the lobby and was distributed from there, so that would make sense to me. Going to be hard to get a census form mailed to you when you don't actually have a permanent address. That doesn't mean you can't receive mail, I could send a letter and you'd get it.

So basically it's the responsibility of the management of the hotel to ensure that whatever mail get's delivered? No wonder they didn't get anything.
