#1051: Tiger Geocoder 2010 normalize_address bug - postDirAbbrev doesn't parse

 Reporter:  mikepease  |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  critical   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 1.5.4
Component:  postgis    |     Version:  1.5.X        
 Keywords:             |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 The post direction suffix (North) does not get parsed in the
 normalize_address().

 --misses the "north" suffix
 select * from
 normalize_address('212 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 55401')

 --the "north" *prefix* works
 select * from
 normalize_address('212 N 3rd Ave Minneapolis, MN 55401')

 --finds the "north" suffix when a suite # is added to the address
 select * from
 normalize_address('212 3rd Ave N Suite 560, Minneapolis, MN 55401')



 I'm using 2010 Tiger_geocoder downloaded in June 2011
 and I'm running on Postgresql 8.4.8 for Windows (Vista) and have PostGIS
 1.5.2 installed.
