Comment(by mikepease):

 Hopefully this is more helpful than annoying.
 Here's 3 more example cases of this issue:

 1701 Main Street, Hopkins, MN 55343   -> (works with Mainstreet)

 1421 ENERGY PARK DR, ST. PAUL, MN 55108   -> (works with ENERGYPARK DR)

 4343 MEADOW BROOK BLVD, ST. LOUIS PARK, MN 55416  -> (works with
 MEADOWBROOK BLVD)


 --works
 select abs(ST_X(geomout)::numeric(8,5)) || 'W, ' ||
 ST_Y(geomout)::numeric(8,5) || 'N' as lat_lon, *
 from geocode('1701 MainStreet, Hopkins, MN 55343')

 --doesn't work
 select abs(ST_X(geomout)::numeric(8,5)) || 'W, ' ||
 ST_Y(geomout)::numeric(8,5) || 'N' as lat_lon, *
 from geocode('1701 Main Street, Hopkins, MN 55343')
