Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Today's Locations: Philadelphia (North) Philadelphia (South)

Philadelphia is split between two primary graticules, as the city is bisected by the 40th parallel. The southern Philadelphia graticule is at 39 N, -75 W. The northern graticule is at 40 N, -75 W. 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.

Won't be making that trip. Relaxing 15:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, a bit too far on the fly like this. Philly is lucky that we're split over 4 areas... We have to wait for the corners to come up. --TLP 15:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
