Hancock building? What Hancock building?

$Apparently Chicago\'s main post office moved to Lubbock, Texas, \<a href=\"http://chicagofree.info/2012/09/25/apple-ios-6-woes-chicagos-main-post-office-moves-to-lubbock-texas/#axzz27bgMArHB\"\>via ChicagoInfo\<\/a\>$

Apple's iOS 6 upgrade was supposed to be amazing. And it is — just not the way it was supposed to be. The Apple Maps feature has botched, out-of-date maps with weird melted landscapes in some places. It even renamed Berlin. Apple is totally sorry about the whole thing and says this is a "first attempt."

We sifted through "The Amazing iOS 6 Maps" tumblr to see what Apple did to our city. Chicagoista Jessica Mlinaric looked up a few others and got equally humorous results. A melted bean? A nonexistent Hancock? An existent Meigs Field?
