Oops, that should be "origin in 70118 AND distance <= 25";

I've already started importing tables for this app, but I'm gonna have
to fine-tune the db schema and re-do it.

Another issue: character encoding. The MySQL data is encoded
"Latin1", but I want the data in PG to be Unicode. The quick fix is
to put the following at the top of the file you feed to PG:

    set client_encoding to 'LATIN1';

Mark.
