Anyone have photos of the dual English/Seneca signs along the Southern Tier in western NY? I've driven past them many times but never had my camera.

I've mentioned this before, but this is one of my favorite threads on the board...sadly it has died. I would like to revive it though - I have a list of 15 or so challenges to restart it, but as always, anyone can kick in their own. So unless it would be better to start an entirely new thread, I'm going to post a challenge to start 2020 off.

Hey, I'm all for it, if there's renewed interest! :-) Just a couple of rules reminders (assuming we want to stick to the same ones):

US 1 isn't an eligible play here, as it was used already. (See rule #6–in fact, this precise scenario is the example I used!) :-D

GSV is permitted, but the image must be embedded in your response. There are instructions for this buried way upthread somewhere–assuming they still work! (I usually found it easier to do a screen shot.)

Thanks for the clarifications.
