A to Z Rules - Start with a City beginning with A
- This is BY STATE
- Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
- Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
- The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
- You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
- Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
- If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
- If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.Previously Rule 8
- For some States there are tough letters to find such as Q, W, X, Y, Z - in those cases it is acceptable to find anything with those letters in the name to keep the game moving.
The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.
MS: A to Z (Round 1)

A bit of history -
Founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1890, Roxie, Mississippi, was established as a railroad shipping hub on land donated by John Quincy Adams Graves, a local leader and Civil War veteran who named it after his newborn daughter. Located in Franklin County, early residents primarily engaged in logging and sawmill work. It was developed at the intersection of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. By the early 1900s, it featured a post office (established 1885), churches, and a Masonic lodge. Local lore includes the "Roxie Gold Hole," a legendary, decades-old tale of buried treasure and hidden wealth on Hamburg Road.
