Comment:

 Mike I checked my current build and this works fine.  So I suspect you
 just need to update your geocoder.  In the tiger folder, there is an
 update_geocoder.bat script that should bring you up to date.  Give it a
 try.

 When I run these -- this is what I get:

 {{{
 select * from normalize_address('212 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 55401') ;
  address | predirabbrev | streetname | streettypeabbrev | postdirabbrev |
 internal |  location   | stateabbrev |  zip  | parsed
 ---------+--------------+------------+------------------+---------------+----------+-------------+-------------+-------+--------
      212 |              | 3rd        | Ave              | N             |
 | Minneapolis | MN          | 55401 | t
 (1 row)

 select * from normalize_address('212 N 3rd Ave Minneapolis, MN 55401') ;
