Park Place = Gringanno (or possibly Minmarre).

I mean, Consider the property values! But they're great builds too...just need events to give them a population.

Nope. Monopoly squares are named after streets in Atlantic City, NJ. I guess that is a bit of a letdown to some of you.


LMAO, funny but Teeny, if they had went to my Trivia events last year they would know that huh..;)

Well if I had gone to your trivia event a brit wouldn't have been able to answer it as different national monopolies have different names. Monopoly as sold in Britain is named after places in London.

Making trivia questions that different nationalities can answer is hard huh;)

If you are really interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_%28board_game%29 shows both layouts.

"The original Monopoly game was localized for the cities or areas in which it was played and Parker Brothers has continued this practice. Their version of Monopoly has been produced for international markets, with the place names being localized for cities including London and Paris, and for countries including the Netherlands and Germany, among others."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localized_versions_of_the_Monopoly_game has lots of them.
