Now you have the option to use the town in which you reside instead of a regional location.
I changed my profile today from Greater New York City Area to Morris Plains, NJ.
 
1. Hover your mouse over the "Profile" tab at the top of a LinkedIn page...
2. Scroll down to "Edit Profile"
3. Click the "Edit" link next to your name
4. Click the button next to your home town
5. Click the "Save Changes" button
