Denise, I'm no expert on how the internet backbone works in general, but narowing down what city you live in based on your IP address is fairly standard technology.
It's not 100% fool proof, but it can come close most of the time.

I followed one of the links (unfortunately I can't remember which one), and it was clear at this site that they were able to determine the city where I'm located. I followed the trail to http://www.geobytes.com. (demo at http://www.geobytes.com/demo.htm). The product isn't free, but I know someone had a question about this recently, and thought this might be worth looking into.
