Areas in the USA 

My ZIP

This is beautiful.
You can look up information by the name of the community and state, or just use your ZIP code. It was the first Google hit when I tried searching just by my ZIP code. The URL for the local area is www.#####.com, with "#####" representing the ZIP code.
Anyway, the page includes:
*an interactive map,
*a sortable list of hotels, restaurants and attractions,
*tabs to yellow pages and more information,
*a search function,
*a basic weather forecast and
*demographic information.
