Alamo - this place is better known as "The" Alamo or "Fort" Alamo, but as it becomes increasingly difficult to think of a place that begins but doesn't end with an A (at least none that we haven't had already) I hope that it will be accepted under consideration of the fact that "Fort" Alamo was actually a missionary church, that was named "Fort" after the place was the sight of a battle between people who fought for the independence of Texas from Mexico and the Mexican army lead by Santa Anna in 1836. Though none of the defenders survived it became sort of a "moral" victory for the Texans as many more people decided to fight the Mexicans after that battle.
