39 / m / 35,-80

I just moved to Charlotte (Fourth Ward, near uptown.) Excited to hash and explore this graticule and its neighbors, especially on weekends! Will bike or transit hash when reasonable, otherwise drive. In particular I want to get 34,-80 and 36,-81 deflowered finally.

I was born and raised in the southern part of 42,-87, and have lived in 40,-88, 22,114 (briefly), 47,-122 (where I first discovered the strange powers of geohashing), 40,-73, and 39,-77 (very briefly), before coming here.
