Back when I was into programming contests, I wrote a program to find the smallest selection of cities, the letters of which would cover the alphabet in correct order. I even felt a small urge to take pictures of the place name signs of those cities and turn it into art. Soon after that stroke of genius thought, I stumbled upon an exhibition by a Dutch artist [1] who visited nearly every city in The Netherlands, took a picture of himself, his car, and the place name sign, and I lost interest. Obviously I got the inspiration in an Amsterdam metro line that stops at ABCOUDE [2]. It might be interesting to retry this with the entire OpenStreetMap database.
