Hey, I'm in Amherst, NH right now and since there's nothing up here it sent me to NYC. However, you have some content in Boston which is much closer and hence more useful to me.

If there's nothing in the detected area, can you move to the closest bon instead?

We have a handful of deals in Boston/Chicago/SF - but not really enough to be useful. Unfortunately, NYC is the only city with reasonable coverage right now ...

If I'm going to be showing deals not near you, I'd rather be showing great deals from 200 miles away than poor ones from 50 miles away.

In steady state, we'd definitely do some sort of 'show nearest deal' instead though ...
