Memphis, TN, splits two graticules at latitude 35, longitude -89 and latitude 35, longitude -90.
The first includes the areas on the eastern part of the Memphis Metropolitan Area and covers a large area of undeveloped land in the north eastern section, however the South Western area of this graticule covers some of the metro area of Memphis (starting at midtown), Germantown, Bartlett, and Collierville.
The second includes all of Downtown, South Memphis, Graceland, and the airport, as well as West Memphis, Arkansas. This graticule also encompasses Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Please feel free to add information or comments as you see fit!

Planning and Coordinating
Weekend of 2012-03-17:
- On Friday, the West Memphis geohash looks pretty interesting. It's on the west bank of the river, but on Tennessee land. Right out front a farm or house that looks (at least, from google maps' view) to be abandoned. Rusty cars or something all over the place, the land doesn't look maintained. It's very close to the river, so I suspect it got destroyed with the bad flooding last year. If that's so, it should make for a really interesting adventure and some great photography. Assuming the weather permits...

- The East Memphis geohash for today is the closest geohash to my apartment I think I've ever seen. Google maps shows it to be in a residential area, nearby an old folks home, very close to somebody's back yard. I can't tell if they have a fence, as there are trees in the way, but the hash point looks like it's practically on top of this hypothetical fence. So this one could be easy or complicated. Either way, I'm thinking we'll bring a frisbee and a dog...

- Update: We ended up not going; had important things to take care of that night. -MayorOfBoxTown 10:02, 15 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.
