Some fun new ideas! I'm hoping someone can come up with a "less" than 3-letter place name. :)

It's not unreasonable.

Here are a couple I found online of the French Commune Aÿ.

Here's a different Jay, this one in Vermont in the snow on January 26, 2006.



And a different Ely, this one in Iowa definitely not in the snow on June 27, 2013.

Years ago, before the advent of the Internet, I read a news story stating that there were only two post offices with two-letter names in the country, and both were in Letcher County, Ky. Uz was one of them. For the life of me, I can't remember the other one, but I keep wanting to think it was Eb. However, Eb does not show up on the Wiki  :-D page for places with short place names.

I saw a mention of "Ep, Kentucky" but couldn't find a photo for it. Searching for two-letter words on Google yielded too much to wade through.

This photo was taken in 2005, some 15 years after the weight limit came in. A look on GSV shows it has since been removed.

This won't come around often, so I'm going to try for something crazy. The photos don't have to be yours, as they won't be for me.
