If nothing else you will find hundreds of the $1 best buy bucks or whatever they do now. You'd be amazed at ho many people dont even peel them off.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-13-2006 05:58 AM                     As a matter of interest, where is Parkplace? I assume that the names are taken from real places. The reason I ask is that Before Penn Station in Newark was built the old station was called Market Street I think, but PATH served a separate station which I'm pretty sure was called Park Place. I doubt that anything in Monopoly is named after a street in Newark, but you never know. There are some pretty rough places in London which were regarded as posh areas at one time, and some pretty rough areas which have turned into posh ones. I have no idea what type of street Park Place is, or was.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Rare pieces for this game from this website are: $50 (5000 winners) - Mediterraneann Ave. $500 (500 winners) = Vermont Avenue $1,000 (250 winners) = Virginia Avenue $1,500 (100 winners) = Tennessee Avenue $5,000 (50 winners) = Kentucky Avenue $10,000 (10 winners) = Ventnor Avenue $50,000 (2 winners) = Pennsylvania Avenue $1,000,000 ($50,000 per year for 20 years) (1 winner) = Boardwalk $5,000,000 ($250,000 per year for 20 years) (1 winner) = Short Line It's amazing how few real prizes this game has.

I assume that the names are taken from real places. All of the street and place names in Monopoly are actual streets or neighborhoods [Marvin(sic) Gardens] in Atlantic City, NJ. Some of the streets made famous in the game no longer exist, falling victim to development and name changes (Illinois Ave is now Martin Luther King Blvd, for example) The railroads were East Coast lines. (except 'Short Line' which was derived from 'Shore Fast Line', a streetcar line in Atlantic City. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Bob Plummer Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Mount Vernon, WA, USA Registered: Jul 2006 posted 10-13-2006 06:49 PM                     I thought Short Line Railroad was named such becuase the creator ran out of Railroad names, so he took the name of the local Bus line that brought tourists to Atlantic City? I dunno, I don't live there. :-P  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-13-2006 09:28 PM                       Humm... all I keep getting are Boardwalks...  |  IP: Logged Bob Plummer Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Mount Vernon, WA, USA Registered: Jul 2006 posted 10-14-2006 01:26 PM                     Trade you for everything I have but my park place! :-P  |  IP: Logged
