The more from Conway County, the better... I guess.

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

Don't push your luck on playing lone "_____y" names (where the Y rule doesn't help) -- not that many Y____ names in our inventories.

That said, I happen to have a good one.

Yacht Club Road --> Beatles Lane (new street under construction in Kingstowne, VA)

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

I just don't have the ability these days to monitor this sort of thread on weekdays to watch for that sort of opportunity, so basically I just got lucky there.

I happened to be walking past both this and Eighth Street, in the process of getting the pictures I intended, and I decided to take pictures of these anyway just because we seem to lack Es and Ns, even though these are the most boring names possible. :-D

I could throw a flag on that (rule 18), but the important letters are accurate and it's already been played off, so I'll let it slide to keep things moving.

Huh, I wasn't aware that was a rule. It makes sense for beginning and ending letters, but to worry about the middle letters seems a bit silly.

Edit: Also, if anyone does really have a problem with it I have a different O_a street I can substitute in.
