Philadelphia is split between two primary [[graticule]]s, as the city is bisected by the 40th parallel.  The southern Philadelphia graticule is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=39&long=-75 39 N, -75 W].  The northern graticule is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=40&long=-75 40 N, -75 W]. Parts of the Far Northeast are in the [[Newark, New Jersey]] graticule, and many of the South Jersey suburbs are in the [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]] graticule; those may be more convenient to get to for some people, depending on the coordinates of the day.
+
Downtown Philadelphia is located in this [[graticule]]. However, the city is bisected by the 40th parallel and a big chunk of the city are in the [[Allentown, Pennsylvania]] graticule. Parts of the Far Northeast are in the [[Newark, New Jersey]] graticule, and many of the South Jersey suburbs are in the [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]] graticule; those may be more convenient to get to for some people, depending on the coordinates of the day.
