The road sign city name photo game

[7/8]

Holly Springs to Sudbury (or Midland/Parry Sound) on the 400 NB

[hotdogPi]

That has the be the sign with the most destinations on it (8). The most I have in my collection is 5.

Earlier in the thread, there was a sign in Maine that had 9 destinations, most of them towns that are also the names of countries.

I can top that, but I need somebody to play a D_____r, e, h, w.

Bang. (does this fulfill your button copy fetish?)

To a much less ritzy place on the other side of California.

Echo Lodge or Emerald Cove => East Los Angeles (CA)

I made this suggestion several pages ago.

I still like my idea that you should be able to play the word in front of "...ville" since there are so many 'ville's. Therefore you could play an "S" if someone played "Louisville."

Agreed, but it shouldn't necessarily be limited to ____ville. Perhaps also ___ Lake and ___ Cove (both from photos I've put on the shelf for the time being). Maybe some other suffixes too, like ___town?

This uses up the last olayable photo from my Maui road trip this January.

Derry to (per Y rule) Gorum => Makawao (HI):

[1995hoo]

Makawao ---> Occoquan (dashcam capture from on our way home this afternoon less than two hours ago...I just uploaded 17 video captures, so maybe I'll get to enter this thread a little more often than in the past few days!)

Occoquan -> North Charleroi (PA)


North Charleroi, Washington County by Jon Dawson, on Flickr

[Mapmikey]

North Charleroi -> Inez

[froggie]

Midland >> Danville (VT)

A pity you didn't do more context in your Vermont photos.

Meanwhile, Inez --> Zumbrota

Zumbrota => Anahuac (TX):

Anahuac -> Chalk Hill (PA)


Chalk Hill, Fayette County by Jon Dawson, on Flickr

[1995hoo]

Chalk Hill ---> Linden (this afternoon en route to Fox Meadow Winery at this exit)

[Darkchylde]

Linden -> Norco

[noelbotevera]

Norco to ...something (Orms-straior)

[1995hoo]

Whatever he posted ---> Richmond

[noelbotevera]

Richmond to some other place that ends in "staoir" (dorgrims?)

[oscar]

I don't see any place on that sign that starts with "d". Two that start with a weird character that looks like a (blend of "b" and "p", but unless you can confirm that transliterates to "d", I wouldn't count it. (What language is it in, anyway?)

Anyway, the first time you posted that photo, it was interesting. But a bit soon to recycle it, especially if you have to stretch to use it.

It's Icelandic, and that letter is the letter thorn - þ - which would be transliterated as "th."

[1995hoo]

I think instead of "-staoir" those names end in "-staðir."

It's a "Þ", which is the Old English "thorn" letter, and survives in use only in Icelandic. It roughly transliterates into a "th" sound.

In other words, noelbotevera needs to make a different play.
