sure :)

it's funny though most sites do it the other way.
For example use the Subway sandwich site, I live in area code 80528 which is a 
fort collins area code but I actually live in Windsor which is a different 
city, so when I search for a local store the closest one really is like 14 
miles away and the one 2 blocks away doesn't even show up.

There is give an take to this as well, like on the Ross sites I use the actual 
lat & lon of the store but the general zipcode for the user which might make it 
closer but they didn't want the user to have to put in their actual address as 
most people wouldn't understand why it is better and might perceive it as 
collecting their data.
