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.

  • cpthomp is here in Newark, and has a car, up for Delaware, PA, MD hashes

  • rseasmith is in the Allentown area and will definitely try to do this. He has a car and is willing to drive as long as it's not TOO far (gas prices are killing me).
  • TexasDex is in Philly but is without car until... probably a long time. I'd happily attempt a meetup that is SEPTA/bike accessible; other meetings probably not, unless my car-owning XKCD friend is interested.
  • IchiroKatsuo is smack-dab in the middle of south jersey, and is another car-less 'hasher. will also attemt some AC geohashes, cause he's within walking distance of the border.
  • Jsharpminor is a musician in the Allentown area who had seen the Geohashing comic and didn't think much of it until 24 July 2008...now he's interested in possibly doing some meetups!
  • Chris is a Jerseyite in the North region who caught the bug on July 24th, 2008 with his first hash! Has a car! Range extends with interest!
  • Kyla can't believe Chris got her into this. From the Bethlehem area, owns a car, recognizable by a black fedora.
  • Peppage Lives in south Jersey and is ready to drive/go exciting places.
  • Jevanyn lives in Somerville, and is a supporter of the Museum of Art (the one with the Rocky statue), so he's in the city on occasion.
  • Madmaxie hails from the Spring Garden neighborhood, has an aging road bike, lives a block from a beer distributor, and will gladly bring slightly warm, shaken-up refreshments to a meeting, along with a frisbee and an iPod laden with horrible 80's music.
