Philadelphia is split between three [[graticule]]s. The primary Philadelphia graticule is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=39&long=-75 39 N, -75 W].  Parts of the city, including approximately everywhere north of Allegheny Avenue, are in the [[Allentown, Pennsylvania]] graticule, and the Far Northeast is in the [[Newark, New Jersey]] graticule.
+
The Philadelphia graticule is located at [[39,-75]]. [https://geohashing.info/s/39,-75 Today's location]

==Cities in this Graticule==

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.
