    Name Game Pointless Prize

    Is there a street or place that bears your name? Or maybe a coffee shop? Anything at all?
    For this prize, the goal is to find a location or an establishment that bears your name (even in mutated form), ride there, and take a picture to show you were there. Please note the location, too.
    It can be your first name or last name or nickname or Forum name or any other names you go by. If your name has a meaning or translation, feel free to find something connected. For example, my first name is Cynthia… there’s a Cinthia’s Bakery on Columbia Pike. It’s a Greek name meaning Goddess of the Moon so I could also visit Moon Street in Alexandria. My middle name is the name of a cigar (yuck) so maybe I could find a store named after the cigar. And my last name is Palmer. That’s a toilet tissue dispenser designed for high-traffic public restrooms (yay?) so maybe I could find a storefront that bears the name of the Palmer TP company. I could also go with my Forum name, Wheels&Wings, and find places or establishments that have wheels or wings in the title.

    If you can’t find anything that bears your name in any form, then try your letters backward or scrambled, or try just your initials. Some names are far harder than others, but use that to your advantage… you’ll get bonus points for creativity! Post your findings on this thread. Multiple submissions welcome.

    Optional hashtag: #namegame
    (The judges will be checking this Forum thread rather than the hashtag data. :))

    Otis Street NW DC (previously did Otis NE)

    My last name game entry of FS 2022.

    Kudos to Wheels&Wings, who did so much for Freezing Saddles in previous years, and who organized this new game in a year when she was not even participating.
