[Detroit, MI]

The Detroit graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -83. It includes about 90% of Detroit, all of Detroit's western suburbs (Southfield, Livonia, Canton), most of Oakland County (Royal Oak, Troy, Pontiac, Sterling Heights), and all of Ann Arbor. It also encompasses about half of Windsor, Ontario and half of Flint, Michigan.

The Detroit graticule does not include northern Flint (43, -83), some of Detroit's eastern suburbs such as Mt. Clemens, or eastern parts of Windsor (42, -82). However, depending on the density of XKCDers and the location of the hot spot, individuals from these areas may want to consider the Detroit graticule instead.

2008-06-07 42 -83 -- Right in someone's driveway. Meetup was maybe 80 feet north in a nice shaded area by a sidewalk. 2008-06-01 42 -83 -- In the middle of a field on a private road in an area that looked like it was being developed for new houses. 2008-05-31 42 -83 2008-05-24 42 -83 -- This location is not only on land, but appears to be very reachable.

Notable Events

On the off chance that the spot for Saturday, May 24th is downtown (it's not), you might also consider attending Movement, Detroit's Electronic Music Festival[1] while you're there (you won't be, but go anyway it'll be fun).
