Snowy.

Nope just no LL, if each year there is 150+ towns in each of the bigger states (mn,wi,ia,oh,etc) then eventually there will be no new towns anymore and have difficulty finding themes for future years. I always found it fun to visit towns from previous GT years, but not too many, thats why just No LL. If some LL are allowed and others not I thought that would muck the rules up too much.

Who knows maybe LL will count for something next year

Any place name with either "Saint" (or a variation like St. or STE) or "Sin" counts. Lot's of "Saints" but not so many "Sin" locations, so the "Sins" count for 2 points.

Just throwing it out there...:-)

just scrolling through and saw this. I'm making a note to look into this one. Very interesting.
