I don't have any more Dedhams. Also, M is not a bad ending letter.

I do have several more New Bedfords waiting, though.

I appreciate your effort to add value to the thread though.  M is a better letter than D and Dedham is a good post overall, but that's why I posted it over a year ago myself hah.

I do think about the quality of each post by subtracting the value of the first letter from the value of the last--sometimes the result is negative, sometimes it's positive.  The value is how rare it is to find a letter at the tail end of a name.

There is no rule regarding the number of times a city can be played. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the OP. We don't get to ignore valid plays just because we don't like them.

We are still on Dedham.

We did take it up with the OP, after my grousing that Indianapolis had been run into the ground, and England (AR) was re-played with different photos. He said a city can be re-played, to get more photos in the game. So this is a settled issue.

Sorry to spin us right back to "N" but this gets us to a city that doesn't seem to have been played yet.

Most of mine end with "N" as well, but I found one that doesn't, but it spins us back to "E" again.

Are you sure that's not Google Street View? It really looks like you used it for this...

Looks more like Photoshop to me. The green sign is much brighter than the blue sign and the background, and I don't see any blurred letters or Google watermarks.

Looks like a poor quality cell phone picture. Furthermore, it was uploaded using the Tapatalk app, which probably compressed the picture even more, making the problem even worse.

I also highly doubt that the difference in intensity between the blue and green signs is photo manipulation. It's probably just the difference in age between the sign panels themselves.

Sorry, I overlooked the rule about no Google Street View. It won't happen again.

So we'll go to Eufaula before the meat cleavers attacked this sign for OK 9.
