Street Sign Name Game

Parma Rd -> (Ralph David) Abernathy Blvd (Atlanta, GA)

Possible clarification needed on Rule 4: this is technically not the full name of the street, but I'm inclined to say if it's good enough for GDOT, it's good enough for me.

(It was raining when I took this photo, thus the blurriness of the other sign.)

We had a discussion on this several pages back and it was decided, IIRC, that this is allowed.

Another photo in the rain and what I think might be the last A___ I have at the moment...

La Media Rd -> Akers Mill Rd (that part of Cobb County that the USPS and the Braves call "Atlanta")

Don't worry, if someone plays a L (or P per rule 17) I'll give you a Z :sombrero:. Also, I have to be awaken and aware.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Riverside Drive → Elysian Avenue (Duluth, MN)

And now the long-awaited next installment of my "Starts with North" series (and the only N___ currently in my inventory):

Elysian Ave -> North Lake Dr (Peachtree City, GA). There is no South Lake Dr and no standard directional prefix system here, so I'm comfortable calling this not-a-prefix.

Edminster -> Real (North America)

That's legit. "El Camino Real" means "The Royal Road", so removing "El" (the) and "Camino" (road) leaves you with "Real".

But could you be more specific about the location? My guess is somewhere along the California coast, but I don't remember seeing such signs there, and there could be other Spanish royal roads in other states.

The sign I played is in Natchitoches Parish, LA. I looked up Camino Real and found that there were multiple Caminos Real in North America, apparently not all connected. This particular route ran from Guerrero, Mexico to Natchitoches, LA. I will edit my post to reflect the correct jurisdiction.

All other Caminos Real that haven't been played and are signed are still playable.

Larned Street → E Douglas Avenue (Des Moines, IA)

E Douglas Ave -> Sumner Rd (Peachtree City, GA)

#1374
Sumner Road → W Redwing Street (Duluth, MN - it baffles me that it's called "Redwing" and not "Red Wing," like the city, since the E/W streets in this neighborhood are named after Minnesota cities.)
