<p>Tentatively, yes. There's no rule that says locative or temporal
phrases must be unique, that two such phrases can't exist in the
same sentence, but you <i>are</i> following the rule that says
locative phrases (and others) come at the beginning of the
sentence.<br>
</p>
<p>Understand that this is not an exact science. There are degrees
of confidence in various constructs, and not everyone feels the
same about every example. Sometimes you'll stretch the grammar
farther than some people are willing to go; at these times you
need to consider whether you yourself are confident in the grammar
you're using and whether you could accommodate your listeners with
an alternative expression.<br>
