It's not just you. The reality is that the Local Search API's deprecation was announced November 1, 2010. Under the TOS, Google would maintain the service for three years after that date and then discontinue it. We are now three months past the TOS-defined sunset date. In short, you will probably want to find an alternative. Here are some suggestions, which I posted yesterday when the outage was first reported to the group.
