Hi All,
We started noticing this today:

Using the API to geocode "West Orange, NJ" brings back no results.
Using the API to geocode "WestOrange, NJ" (No space) brings back the
expected result.

Is this just a data hiccup? I've logged it as a bug against the
geocoder API - has anyone else seen geocoding oddities lately?

Thanks!

There are several of this little hiccups. I see the same thing you do for West Orange, but oddly, I see the same thing on Google Maps and removing the space makes it worse. I've seen that if the API gets it wrong, Google Maps will usually get it right, but not in this case. You did the correct thing by logging a bug.
