jbnv, how do we apply the X rule to Scott's photo, which plays "Triple X" and also has "134th St." in the photo? We never really decided how to handle numbered streets, though there was some sentiment to disallowing them altogether.

I have a few H____ street names, if we play off the "h" in ::134th:. If we instead play off "four" (spelling out "134"), that should be manageable for others, though I've already used up my only two R____ names, and won't be able to gather more anytime soon.

If we get incredibly desperate, S.E. 134th Street runs along the Oklahoma City—Norman line here, and Norman calls it Deer Creek Road. So we could cheat and use a K.


(the blade assembly above is the one to the left)

Hopefully someone has an X ready to bust out and save us the trouble, though.

Your photo is pretty old. The hospital once at that exit is long closed, after a merger with Cumberland's other hospital. For a time, there were signs on I-68 alerting motorists to the closure of the Seton Dr. hospital, and that the new hospital was a few miles to the east on the other side of Cumberland.

Anyway, back north of the Arctic Circle.

I think there's no Z rule yet, which could help here.

I pass by 2 roads starting with Z on the way to work each day.  I should snap a picture on the way to work!

Similarly, there is one street in Des Moines that starts with Z but it is not currently in my archive (or I'd have played it already!)
