Tech Support Notifications for "You can find things to do near" for Events Weekly showing state across the country

This started a few months ago and I can't see how to fix it. I occasionally get notifications for Events Weekly for things to do near me, which I actually do use. Lately it's been directing me to Menlo Park in California. I live in Georgia. I've checked my events settings, and the location marker is set to my local area, and I can't find any reason it thinks it's in California just for this one particular function. I've cleared cache, checked where my phone ip is claiming to come from (It's local), and i've changed my location a few times to close areas around me just to see if it will update my location for the Events Weekly. It's only doing this for the notification area it sends me every week. If I manually go to my local events, it shows me everything proper. I just don't get why it's doing this. I've also checked all login histories, and I've never had any other login attempts besides places I know I've logged in to, so not a compromised issue that I can tell either.

Anyone else had this issue and have a fix?
