Des Moines, WA → Salem, NH

I was saying "Des Moines" silently to myself when I looked at the picture.  And I immediately thought, But Salem doesn't start with N.

:no:  :banghead:
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

D kinda sucks as an ending letter, but not nearly as much as N. In any case, I have only one N___ place name photo left, and I think other players are also running low.

For this game, not necessarily the parallel street name game which has somewhat different rules (though its suck list will resemble this one).

X isn't a problem because I can always use Xenia which I have plenty of photos.

Ashland -> Dell Rapids:

it's partially covered up by the closed tab -- but there isn't a rule forbidding that, unlike the street sign name game

Sorry for the poor quality.  I hadn't discovered the joy of using a polarizing filter.

Hang on, I believe the Gaelic name of Dublin is Baile atha Cliath, so one should be playing from Ashbourne instead.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.
