The problem is that "e" and "s" are the two most common letters in the English alphabet.
But "n" seems to be much more common as a street (or place) name ending letter than "s", and less common as a starting letter, which makes "n" more of a problem letter than "s".

If no one else has anything I'll wait another day and go find a damn E.
I suggest you (and others) go ahead and do that, and maybe gather some Ns as well. Even banal ones like Eighth or Ninth (or 8th or 9th) Street, which can be played even if those names have been played in other parts of the country, since the ones in your area are different streets than the others.

I was just annoyed that I seemed to be supplying most of the E____s to keep things moving. Now that my online access is less frequent on the road than usual -- and may disappear for a few days later on my current road trip -- it's be good for other players to be contributing E___s and N____s too.

Anyway,

Three Mile Rd. => East Euclid Avenue (Des Moines IA):

I just want you to know that I already used that street over a year ago.

I just subbed in another, unused E____d street name, so we're good.

Eth

Demorest Rd → Tech Center Dr (Austell, GA)



For the record, I'm currently out of starting letters E, I, and now once again T after that play.

I have several R___ photos, including two other R___w photos.

Tech Center Dr. => Red Row Lane (Esmont VA):

Willis St. => Shooting Club Road (Raleigh NC):

6a

Shooting Club Rd. -> Boner St. (Newark, OH)

Because I still have an inner adolescent


Eth

Boner St → Royal Industrial Blvd (Austell, GA)


6a

Royal Industrial Blvd. -> Lucas Rd. (Madison Co. OH)


Eth

Lucas Rd → Savannah River Scenic Hwy (near Townville, SC)

Is "Scenic" an optional word? It's not specifically covered under rule 17, but I feel like it should work the same way as "Memorial" and the like. Probably not really a big deal because C is a more interesting letter to play from than R anyway.


6a

Sure, why not? Let's keep it interesting. Savannah River Scenic Hwy. -> Converse-Huff Rd. (Plain City, OH)


Henry

Converse Huff => Franklin Street (Brooklyn, NY)
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Franklin St. -> E. Norwich Av. (Columbus, OH)


Eth

E Norwich Ave → Hammond Woods Cir (Marietta, GA)
