If we can't come up with a better "X" place name photo, we might need to recycle Jim's photo on page 3 of this thread for Xenia OH.

Rather, I think the rule for cities ending in X should be that the following city just needs to have an X in it somewhere, e.g. Huxley.

What about a new photo of the same town name?

Xenia => Aiea (another "recycled" town name, but the only "A" name in my inventory):



With the rule on names ending in "A", the next post could continue from Pearl City (or maybe Pearl Harbor, even though a military base) rather than Aiea.

Durham => Manic-Cinq (QC), putting "Q" into play:



The lights on the sign indicate closed segments on the long QC 389 highway between western Labrador and the St. Lawrence River. "Manic-Cinq" (or "Manic-5") is best known as one of the enormous hydropower stations along the highway. But it also has a gas station, hotel, RV park, and souvenir shop at which I bought a Manic-5 T-shirt.
