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.
-Alternative meeting points may also include bars, parks or other interesting locations around New Orleans.  Please suggest alternatives here:
