Can someone play Kiev/Kyiv? I couldn't find a road-related one on Wikimedia Commons.

I'm still hunting for a ___v to play from, too. So don't stop at just one, more would be nice.

Sorry, missed the play before that took us from Kief.  Only noticed the rules clarifications. Cancel "Friendship, AR".  Carry on with "N".

Galena Park → Kiev. The other two cities are Moscow and Tallinn (capital of Estonia), so all three cities are capitals. The sign itself is in Russia.

Thanx, 1. That let me play the most difficult of my remaining place name photos. I'm down to five of my own photos, with four initial letters (C, M, P, W).

Kiev => Voss (ND -- no known family connection, though I have many Voss relatives in other parts of the Dakotas):

Is that the Moskva mentioned in the Scorpions 1991 hit "Wind of Change?"
