Hartland (MA)

There is no Hartland in Massachusetts.

Oh yeah, it's in Vermont.  In any case, I haven't played a Hartland in any state, so we're good.

^ I don't see a "Llan" in this photo, just a lot of names starting with "Llan".

If I play from "Llan":

Llan => North Webster (MA):

(photo deleted, since I ultimately did not play it)

If I play instead from "Llangybi":

Llangybi => Idaho Falls (ID), photo previously used for DuBois:

Even though the post said Llan, "Llan" wasn't a choice; it was Llanbadoc, Llangybi, Llandenny, and Llancayo.

However, Oscar's photo is still valid using Llancayo → Oxford, as South Oxford MA is part of Oxford MA, not a separate town.

Complicating that is that I earlier played "Oxford" with another photo. I'd prefer the Idaho Falls sub I made above.

Also, if "South Oxford" isn't treated as separate from "Oxford", that makes it harder to play "North ___" and "East ___" place names in response to ___n and ____e place names. We have a hard enough time dredging up other kinds of N____ and E___ names (I'm out of "Notre Dame ___" placenames).

I think it's been established through over 100 pages, though never explicitly stated, that both the village name and the town name are valid plays.
