Q: Calendar Address formatting

About a quarter ago I realized that the Calendar app has changed to a new display format for event addresses.

 

It used to be, for example:

Restaurant Name

1234 Avenue Way NE

City WA 98004

And under week view, you will see:

Dinner w/ Friend

Restaurant Name

 

Or, if there isn't a restaurant name, it will be:

1234 Avenue Way E

City WA 98004

And you will see the following in week view:

Meeting w/ Boss

1234 Avenue Way E

 

Recently, however, it appears that the addresses suggested by Apple has a new format as follows (notice the commas, and no zip code):

1234 14th Place E

City, WA, United States

And under week view, you will see:

Dinner w/ Friend

1234 14th Place E City, WA, United States

 

Is there a way to revert to the prior version? The new display is really annoying because of (1) the discrepancy in display and (2) the long address will be clustered in the week view. Using ctrl+enter or however to enter the address into two rows like the old version does not work.
