@jamesmallen, @powder-river, Can you confirm that I used cache properly? It seems to work, but I'd like to be sure. Seemed a little to easy.

@gmhurley It looks fine to me. You can check that it's actually working by loading the data, then disabling your internet connection - your program should still work if you try and get the exact same zip code.
