Wait. How is Orlando eligible from that previous example?

I posted the wrong photo. Fixed.

Last city is "Salt Lake" (sic).

The Ys are breaking this game. This is the first time since the game started that we've gone 24 hours without a post. So I've extended the A rule to cover X, Y, and Z. Therefore, the next city may start with Y, H, or N.

Carry on!

What is strange is that I have heard people pronounce Rensselaer county different from the city (ending in "er" or "ayer").  I suppose they're covering the bases.

The X's and Z's are breaking the game as well?

The X's definitely were.  Just think of letters that words never start with...try to avoid those.  Apparently people haven't been watching Wheel of Fortune as much as I have XD

You should still avoid them, unless you have another place name in the photo we can use that doesn't end with an X, Y. or Z. Aston-Quarry is the only one in your photo, unless you're counting "Virginia Beach" in the advertisement next to the official sign.

Not that I haven't played place names ending in "Y", nut it seems we might be running short on photos of place names beginning (and not ending) with "Y".

BTW, I'm on the road, and will be replenishing my supply of photos with place names that I can play. However, the Hawaiian alphabet has only twelve letters, and "Y" isn't one of them.

It's what I had handy, and I wanted to be sure there was a West Virginia entry into the game. I can't remember if one had been played or not.

I'm pretty sure I have a "Y" in my online collection (hint: it's from North Carolina) if anyone wants to go look.

Anyway, have a Nashville
