-New Orleans is split among 4 [[graticule|graticules]] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-90&zoom=9 NW (30,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-89&zoom=9 NE (30,-89)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-90&zoom=9 SW (29,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-89&zoom=9 SE (29,-89)]. Because all 4 graticules contain large amounts of water (Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico), whenever it comes time to choose a location suitable for meeting, the closest to New Orleans that is not located in a body of water should be chosen.
