On the whole, I'd rather be in Marvin Gardens.

"Hasbro's placements for the world version of their game were generated from an on-line contest that began in January. City Room says that the city’s marketing arm was approached by Hasbro about rallying votes for New York but politely declined." HA. The city didn't do Hasbro's marketing work for them, so Hasbro shafted them on their position on the board. If it makes us feel any better, London is our neighbor in the reds.

What's all the bitching about? In original Monopoly, New York is in orange.

The capital of Latvia is Riga, not Rigo.
