The Pentagon has a DC mailing address even though it's in VA. It's weird and it's obviously messing with Google Maps.

Not sure if this is related, but all federal agencies have zip codes that do not align with their physical location. This is because the mail goes to an off-site screening facility to be irradiated for anthrax (and I assume other things) before it is delivered.

The zip codes were established decades before the anthrax screening facilities.

The location in this map is actually in NW DC. Not sure why they call it “2024 concessions pentagon”

The Pentagon has their own food court and it's referring to that, the zip code is just causing weird stuff with Google Maps. The area listed in the map is currently the McMillan pit that's being built out.

I do wonder what's going to happen to these erroneous bussiness listings once McMillan is built out in like 6 years.

McMillan reservoir and these buildings aren't being redeveloped, it's the former McMillan sand filtration plant across 1st street that's been dug out.
