Talk:Memphis, Tennessee

Old Plans

This is where I'm going to archive all the old plans from the main page. I'll move them here after they've been on the main page for a month. -MayorOfBoxTown 10:20, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Weekend of 2012-03-10:

• The Oxford graticule has a close hash (relative to Collierville) for Friday, so we may attempt that this evening. From my apartment, it's a 40 minute drive south, with just a quick hop on US-78. Doesn't look like it's on private property, but I'm not sure. From google maps, it appears to be about a dozen yards into a line of trees, off of one of those big swaths they cut for the power lines and towers. Except it doesn't look like there's any towers... interesting. Who knows?! Let's find out.
  
• Sunday's is going to be out there regardless of the graticule. But still achievable.
  
• Saturday's hash is north of Millington again... Definitely on some farm land. A shout away from the river. Not the best candidate, but we'll see.

Other Discussion

I would almost prefer to see 35,-89 used for the Memphis area Graticule, as it better encompasses the majority of the Memphis area and it's eastward growth into Fayette county including Oakland. Sure this cuts off downtown Memphis and eastern AR from the graticule, but it's not like there's much reason to go either place.  :) -Jaofos 15:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Done! West Memphis, Arkansas is ready for Geohashing. Remember, Graceland (and Elvis Presley Boulevard) are located there - the coveted Elvis Geohash Achievement! --Thomcat 20:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm putting it back. Sorry, but Downtown is simply the place to be, and Memphis actually splits the Graticules. And quite frankly, I'll be damned if I'm going to be grouped in with West Memphis. :P

Okay, fine by me. I only cleaned up what the previous user did. At this point, the All Graticules page should be updated so both Graticules point to Memphis, and the West Memphis page should be deleted. There is a category that could be added also - Category:Split cities. --Thomcat 21:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Changed this to an Active Graticule, even though no hash has been successfully reached yet. We tried through, and will continue to do so. Also added our names to the list. Was going to remove those other five dudes who are probably very inactive, but who knows if they're still here? Didn't seem right. --MayorOfBoxTown 12:23, 5 March 2012 (EST)
