Street Sign Name Game

[MNHighwayMan]

Not sure I have very many available that end with M, though, but I appreciate the effort.

Hal Greer Boulevard → Railroad Avenue (Des Moines, IA)

[jbnv]

Railroad -> Doyle (Livingston, LA)

In the unhelpful department, Doyle Road ---> Eastgate Lane (up the block from the Norham signs I posted earlier)

[MNHighwayMan]

Eastgate Lane → Eighty-Sixth Street (Urbandale, IA — signal on the WB ramp from I-35/80)

[oscar]

Eighty-Sixth St. => Howard Signs Road (crossing US 48, east of Moorefield WV):

[7/8]

Howard Signs Road to Silverwood Road (on TCH 1 west of Moosomin, SK)

[MNHighwayMan]

Silverwood Road → E Dunham Avenue (Des Moines, IA)



(Now if oscar can play that M___c he has, I can play a C___ that will bring up a letter that will otherwise probably never come up.)

[oscar]

E. Dunham Ave. => Marc Drive (Falls Church VA):

[MNHighwayMan]

Marc Drive → CB&Q Street (Des Moines, IA - so named for the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad tracks (now BNSF NS) that run along the street)



Corrective edit: Although eventually the CB&Q became part of BNSF, having double checked, those tracks are now operated by Norfolk Southern.

CB&Q St. => Queen Elizabeth II (the Second) Way (Iqaluit NU):

[MNHighwayMan]

Queen Elizabeth II Way → Indianola Avenue (Des Moines, IA — This one has shown up in a few of my plays as the cross street, but I'm surprised by the fact that I've never played it itself.)

[oscar]

^ Good use of Rule 16, which was added after I composed and saved to my desktop my Queen Elizabeth II Way post.

Indianola Ave. => Ahua Street (Honolulu HI -- photo used a long time ago for Nimitz Hwy):

[MNHighwayMan]

Yeah, I actually double-checked the rules to make sure that was valid first. Seriously though, it's my 133rd play in this thread and the first I___ street I've played. Would've thought they were more common than that. Anyway, onto number 134:

Ahua Street → Allison Avenue (or N-rule, Chautauqua Parkway) (Des Moines, IA)

[jbnv]

Good use of the Roman numeral rule above. 

N-rule: Chautauqua -> America (Baton Rouge)


America by Jay Bienvenu, on Flickr

[MNHighwayMan]

America Street(?) → Avalon Road (or N-rule, Chautauqua Parkway again ) (Des Moines, IA, just around the curve from Allison Ave above)

[oscar]

Time to make someone play a Y____.

Chautauqua Pkwy => Arctic Valley Road (Anchorage AK):

[CNGL-Leudimin]

^ Good use of Rule 16, which was added after I composed and saved to my desktop my Queen Elizabeth II Way post.

It was added after I asked because I couldn't think any other way to put V into play. And for the record I still have to take a photo of that P_V, although tomorrow I may catch an A_V which also ends in a Roman numeral, and is easier to play. I have an A_Z and the longest street name in the Western hemisphere, though.

[MNHighwayMan]

You know, I spent the last half an hour or so scouring the Des Moines metro in Google Maps for any streets that start with Y, so that maybe I'd go take a special trip for a picture.

Turns out, there's only one–York St in Des Moines–and I played that one long ago (seventeenth out of 135 so far). I swear to the road gods that there are exactly zero other Y____ streets in the entire metro area.

There's a K__V street in Chicago and the south suburbs.  I'm hoping to get a picture of that soon.

There's a Y Street I can get by this afternoon, if all else fails.

Arctic Valley -> Yale (Baton Rouge)

This feels kind of cheap, but... it's the last E___ I have.

Yale Avenue → NW Eighty-Sixth Street (Johnston, IA)

[jbnv]

Eighty-sixth -> Hoffpauir (Baton Rouge)


Elwick & Hoffpauir by Jay Bienvenu, on Flickr

[MNHighwayMan]

Tiros Drive → Spring Street (Des Moines, IA)
