Philadelphia is split between two primary [[graticule]]s, as the city is bisected by the 40th parallel.

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. | Philadelphia is split between two primary [[graticule]]s, as the city is bisected by the 40th parallel.

Philadelphia is split between two primary graticules, as the city is bisected by the 40th parallel. The southern Philadelphia graticule is at 39 N, -75 W. The northern graticule is at 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.

Local Geohashers

- Casey is in Philly and willing to visit geohashes in the city.
- TLP is here, but lazy and car-less. Will attempt (very) nearby hashes.
- Olorwen is also here, but also currently car-less. Will attempt some Delaware hashes!
- cpthomp is here in Newark, and has a car, up for Delaware, PA, MD hashes
- cshulse is in Philadelphia and is hoping for a Saturday Meetup between 39.5 and 40.5 because gas is quite pricey these days.
- rkweicker lives in Philly - and will definitely hit up any hashes that are in and around the city.

- TheWaySheGoes is in Philadelphia and ready to give hashing a try! Bicycle and car equipt up for all kinds of hashes.
- Skavoovee is in Collegeville and would love to give this a shot! Has a car and is willing to drive around a bit!
- rseasmith is in the Allentown area and will definitely try to do this. He has a car and is willing to drive as long as it's not TOO far (gas prices are killing me).
- TexasDex is in Philly but is without car until... probably a long time. I'd happily attempt a meetup that is SEPTA/bike accessible; other meetings probably not, unless my car-owning XKCD friend is interested.
- IchiroKatsuo is smack-dab in the middle of south jersey, and is another car-less 'hasher. will also attemt some AC geohashes, cause he's within walking distance of the border.
- Jsharpminor is a musician in the Allentown area who had seen the Geohashing comic and didn't think much of it until 24 July 2008...now he's interested in possibly doing some meetups!
- Chris is a Jerseyite in the North region who caught the bug on July 24th, 2008 with his first hash! Has a car! Range extends with interest!
- Kyla can't believe Chris got her into this. From the Bethlehem area, owns a car, recognizable by a black fedora.
- Peppage Lives in south Jersey and is ready to drive/go exciting places.
- Jevanyn lives in Somerville, and is a supporter of the Museum of Art (the one with the Rocky statue), so he's in the city on occasion.
- Madmaxie hails from the Spring Garden neighborhood, has an aging road bike, lives a block from a beer distributor, and will gladly bring slightly warm, shaken-up refreshments to a meeting, along with a frisbee and an iPod laden with horrible 80's music.
- Blastercorps Car-equipped newbie to geohashing, will go to any nearby locations.
