Nope, the closest thing to "local" ads were separate state-targeted campaigns, but not true local ads.
Instead of hijacking this thread, I posted why your adwords accounts got banned here:

You know a company has too much money when - in this economy - they are axing customers. I haven't touched AdWords in years...the ROI is shit compared to what it used to be and I don't need Google dictating what qualifies as a "quality" website and worthy of reasonable CPC. Being forced to pay $5-$10 is just as bad as being banned IMO.
I attempted one last phone call in response to their email.
Again, same brick wall. Very vague...no details. She said "you will never advertise with Google again" but wouldnt tell me what offenses caused the ban.
Time to stop using Gmail and all the other Google products I've used so carelessly. "GDocs, Calendar, Chat". If I sneeze, Google knows about it.
Android phone "Hell f'n no!"
Is this 2009 or 1984?
Whatever, glad I grapped the hell outta Adwords last month.

Your Google AdWords account has been disabled
Dear advertiser,
We are writing to let you know that your Google AdWords account has been disabled due to one or more serious violations of our advertising policies related to Landing Page and Site Quality. As a result, your ads will no longer run through the Google AdWords system and we are unable to accept advertising from you in the future. Please note that future accounts you open will also be disabled.
As part of our commitment to making the AdWords experience safe and effective for our users and our advertisers, we routinely review the landing pages that our advertisers promote through our search and content networks. If we find that an advertiser has submitted a landing page that egregiously violates our policies, we reserve the right to take immediate account-level action.
Landing pages advertised via AdWords must have relevant, original content, and must be transparent about the nature of the business being promoted. Further, advertising certain types of sites will lead to immediate account disabling. These types of sites include, but are not limited to:
* Sites that charge users or collect personal information in exchange for a product that is never delivered
* Sites that charge for "free" software
* Sites that trick users into paying for fake or poor-quality content
* Sites that charge users for information that makes unrealistic promises of financial or personal gain
* Sites that install malware software on a visitor's computer
Please note that this action is related to sites that have recently been advertised through your account. In a review of your account history, we found that your account had submitted a least one site that egregiously violated our advertising policies. Although you may have removed these sites since our latest review, advertisers that have a history of promoting these types of sites are still subject to account-level disabling.
You can review our Advertising Policies, including our Landing Page and Site Quality guidelines, by visiting: AdWords Help
You may also review the complete AdWords Terms & Conditions here: https://adwords.google.com/select/tsandcsfinder
In addition, our FAQ about Account Disablings can be found here: https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164786
If you have additional questions or concerns not addressed by our policies or help center, you can contact support by replying to this email.

It's about fucking time some class action lawyer took these douchebags on under competition law.
No need. The market will work itself out... if its truly in G's interest(read:money) to axe all affiliates and delusionally think every merchant has the time/experience/desire to run PPC campaigns then the ban hammer will keep crashing.
OR, if they start to see their coffers thinning out as less cash flows through adwords and more sites pull adsense for higher ROI placements... I bet a bunch of us will be getting those $200 buck vouchers in our inboxes.
