"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

Sharp ---> Picardy Place (Edinburgh–Picardy Place is a street that runs past one side of the roundabout).

If it makes play easier, I think it would make sense to treat the roundabout as the "street type" and "Picardy Place" as the "street name" such that the next play is from the "e."

Not knowing whether any of the names on the sign are streets or places, I'll go ahead and play this:

D'oh. I should have clarified that, and you got it right–they're places. I'll remember that for the future.

...and this is where I discover I'm out of K's. But: there's three or four Des Moines K___ streets I don't yet have pictures of, plus an unknown number of them out in the suburbs I could go get.

1995hoo

I work a block from K Street. If the rules were to allow for playing from any other terminal letter when the responsive letter is a single letter, I'd grab a picture this week.

(Hypothetical example: I take a picture at Vermont and K. The next person can then play a "K" or a "T.")
