Atlanta's coordinates fall between 33 and 34, and -83 and -84. It doesn't divide neatly. Shall we plug all four locations and meet wherever's closest to actual Atlanta?

:I'd also say no as this might unfairly rob those other graticules of their geohashing populations...  if you aren't part of the Atlanta graticule you can chose to come to the atlanta graticule, go to whatever graticule is closest to you, or make a new geohashing algorithm that is hashed and centered around cities such as Atlanta - I prefer you do the third choice so I don't have to.  Though if you'd like to work on it together and make a new site based around it, perhaps we could meet up some Saturday!

What great luck, to get a place right off I-85, and with what looks like a parking lot, no less! I've been looking at the satellite and I think we're meeting at a gym; my husband thinks it's a middle school. What do you think it is?
