That's a nice way to sneak a V city in there, since it'll almost never get a chance to happen normally hah.

This is literally our 6th time playing St. Louis.  Do a search, people.
Here's an equivalent play, anyway.

Demopolis >> St. Regis, MT

There is no restriction on re-playing the same city in this game.  I've played St Louis before, I know it's been played, I just didn't care.

I've groused before about people over-playing Indianapolis, and try to avoid re-playing cities myself (though I've occasionally done it). But the OP has weighed in, and says it's OK.

Yeah, I don't play this game that much, but I'm always a little annoyed when a relatively rare letter comes up like an "I" or a "C" and it instantly gets played by a really obvious name that's been played before get's used.  (Watching Cleveland get played when a "C" comes up always kind of annoyed me, for example), but an "S" to and "S" seemed pretty unobtrusive.  Anyways, it's no matter.

Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I use the search to see if it's been played before in the same state. (In my opinion, Xenia gets a pass because there aren't many places beginning with an X, because it sure wasn't easy finding Xiamen in Roman letters.)

It's trickier in the Street Sign game, because you only get 30 listings and a partial result will sometimes obscure what you're looking for.
