Baby Bunting interview questions

The phone interview was scheduled for a specific time, but I did not receive a call. After I followed up, they called about 40 minutes later. During the interview, they asked where I lived. I explained that I currently live about 1 hour and 30 minutes from the office location, but I am completely open to relocating and can start immediately, so the distance would not be a barrier but they said that they were looking for someone who already lives nearby.
