Would boosting (or sorting) by geodist work? See:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearch#geodist_-_The_distance_function

Which you can use for a "boost query" as well as sorting.

Of course you need to get the lat/lon of your users to make this work,
but there are a number of services that can get you, say, the city
center in lat/lon.
