The only D city I have.

Richmond >> Diaz (Arkansas) - I hope someone has a Z.

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

Sorry, but the rules don't allow for that. Next city played after Glen Rose has to start with an E.

It's okay to re-use city names, so long as it's a different sign each time.

You used a different photo to play England, AR in February 2018. You can use the search box, while you're in this thread, to search for references to "England" in this thread, as I did, which has saved me from some duplicative posts.

I suggest you try again, even though it's not completely clear that what you did is not OK. Other users are free in this game (not the street name game) to use different photos to play an already-used place name (though I got grumpy when Indianapolis got played to death). But I don't think it's OK for the same user to replay the same name, even with a different photo.

If you don't have another E____, and choose not to stand on MNHighwayMan's advice, I have an E___ on hand, as well as a few boring D____ names. I've been out of pocket the past few days, but now I'm catching my breath in Miami (and also on the photos I took on my way there), so I can get back in the game.

Yeah, I thought I played England some time ago.

I'll just leave that picture where it is and let anyone play off of D (England.)

There's nothing in the rules in Scott5114's OP that explicitly disallows this. I've done it a few times (played the same city, just with a different sign) and no one called me out on it. I don't really care to do it often, since I'm more about variety, but it's not against the rules as they currently stand.
