The road sign city name photo game

Hanalei → Iowa City

I already posted both my Y's.  Getting real tired of the Y-posting.
I thought the point was to keep this rolling?

A little hard to avoid "Y" ending letters, with so many place names ending in "City" or "Bay".

I don't have any more places with "Y" starting letters either, but I have at least three with "Y" ending letters I'd like to play at some point (an H__ __y, an L___ __y, and an R__ ___y) if the game lasts that long. Unlike with the "Xs", we don't seem to have much trouble getting "Y" starting letters for other people to keep the game rolling.

I had an Athol => Labrador Ciry post before Paul's, but removed it to save the "Y" ending letter for later and see if we have better luck with Paul's "D".

While I appreciate the gesture, I miss the picture.  It was a great road sign photo.

A little hard to avoid "Y" ending letters, with so many place names ending in "City" or "Bay".

Suggestion: If a city name ends in a common word like "City", "Bay" or "Lake," drop the word. (So "Oklahoma City" counts as "Oklahoma" and "Staten Island" counts as "Staten".) (Would "Salt Lake City" count as "Salt"?)

I'm in favor of a rule amendment such that place names ending in X or Y have two options for the next play:
(a) Use the final letter only–e.g. {PHOENIX – XALAPA} or {SALT LAKE CITY – YORBA LINDA}
(b) Use the final two letters–e.g. {PHOENIX – IXTAPAN} or {SALT LAKE CITY – TYLER

But these are the only two letters I would suggest doing this for.  There's no need to remove the D from Staten Island, for example; let's see the D cities!

There are quite a few cities that end in "-land" (Cleveland, Sugarland, etc.) D should be no problem.

(Do "control states" count?)

Not sure if you're trying to troll me to disappoint me or to be entertained by how I react.
Here's how I'll react...with MORE MEMES!  This one has a monkey.  Also I'm assuming states don't count.



Norwalk >> Kankakee
