This graticule is located at [[29,-90]]. It contains southwestern New Orleans.
  
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.

== Alternative Meeting Points ==
 
Because New Orleans is a [[:Category:Split_cities|Split city]] and is surrounded by water and swamp, an alternative meeting point may be useful for most meet ups.  <!-- Use this [http://geohashing.electronicwar.net/ Alternative Meeting Point Implementation] and specify "New Orleans, LA" for the location.  This should provide a location that is at least on land, and near to the actual geohash point.-->
 
 
 
Alternative meeting points may also include bars, parks or other interesting locations around New Orleans.  Please suggest alternatives here:

  • mtastic thinks this is a cool idea and might show up to a meetup if it happens to be within city limits.
  • Jorge would love to go to one of the locations provided by one of the 4 graticules, provided they're not in the backwater swamp.
  • Not_Dice will keep his eye on the Saturday graticules for any interesting locations.
  • Txoof
  • anaraug never knows if he'll show up or not.
  • Atreides will try to make any of them that aren't in water, provided they are in the northeastern section.
  • Padawanspider finally remembered that she wanted to try Geohashing.
