Surely, They'll Build Real Hotels On The Liberty Bell One Day, Anyway
Yesterday, I wrote about the awful, awful plan for a new Monopoly board game. You, however, can vote on what landmarks will be on the new "Here & Now Edition" board. I'm not quite sure how you can put houses and hotels on, say, the Empire State Building, but I suppose you could say the same thing about Park Place.
Philadelphia is included among the cities that will have landmarks on the new Monopoly edition, and here are the three that you can vote on:

Independence Hall, the Libery Bell and... the Parkway? That's it? That's our third biggest landmark? Wait, what? Why not the Art Museum? Uh, City Hall? The late, great Shibe Park?
Naturally, I voted for the Parkway, though. Gotta root for the underdog.

I also voted for the Parkway - just seemed to make more sense in a Monopoly game. Have you looked at any of the other cities? Every time a stadium or ballpark is among the choices, it's in the lead. Which makes sense, since most of the people voting have never been to any of those places, and just pick the only thing they recognize. They should just call it Stadiumopoly. And in other news, I apparently care waaaaay too much about this...
