Try adding a comma between city and state. That seems to help.

The location based searching is a bit broken and is at the top of my list to fix. You can find your box by using the bottom part of the search page by entering state and city.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this as well, but it appears that in a location-based search, some boxes are excluded. Most of these appear to be newer boxes which have entered an additional descriptor such as a street or landmark in addition to the city and state. It is difficult to get these boxes to appear in a search.

For example, this weekend we visited North Attleboro, MA. The LbNA location based search gives a variety of boxes near and in North Attleboro, but does not return several newer boxes (such as Risky Cave Adventure and Strike 3) which do show up in the city search.

Yes, that's part of the same geocoding problem mentioned above. I'll have clean that up when the geocoding is working again.

I hope you'll give us a try now that we've updated the site. The searches that you mentioned seem to work fine now and your box shows up.

Happy Hunting!
