The City Board
Earlier this year, Hasbro Gaming and Top Trumps USA announced the release of a Kansas City Edition of Monopoly for the first time in over 25 years. As someone who loves this game and loves this city, I was so excited. But quickly excitement became disappointment as I learned about the nature of property placement in these city edition games. Yet still, I held out hope that this game would be a good thing for KC. With the release of Monopoly: Kansas City Edition yesterday afternoon, this is my first look at the board.
The Other Monument
As this weekend approaches, it marks to many the unofficial beginning of summer. And while, after the topsy-turvy weather of “spring”, summer is most welcome, the reason we have this weekend is Memorial Day. As we take a moment to remember those who fell while serving this country this weekend, consider visiting the beautiful, grandiose World War I monument that boasts a great view of the city’s skyline. No, not Liberty Memorial, I’m talking about the other monument.
Mr. Monopoly Goes To Kansas City
Last Monday, it was announced that Hasbro would be releasing an official Kansas City edition of the popular Monopoly boardgame later this fall. With the company taking suggestions from Kansas Citians, I decided to design my own gameboard. And let me tell you, with so many great neighborhoods and landmarks (and so few spaces!), it was much tougher than I could have imagined.
There’s Something About Harry
Exactly seventy six year ago, to the minute, Harry S. Truman was sworn in as President of the United States. As we remember Kansas City's lone Commander-in-Chief, I explore some of Harry's hangouts, presidential pit stops, and other landmarks pertinent to Truman's local legacy. No matter how far Truman got from Independence, the Kansas City area was never far from his heart.
