DO NOT PASS GO!
It's January 5th, 2021. It's Monopoly Day!
Who hasn't, at one time or another, been caught
up in a game of Monopoly? You may be surprised
to learn the game was the creation of a young
lady. Elizabeth Magie came up with the game
as a way to teach the economy. She called it
"The Landlord Game" and got a patent for it
on this date in 1904. Of course the game eventually
became Monopoly. It's been customized a bit
over the years, including special versions for
communities that wished to have their own
shops included on the board. But, basically,
it's the same game that "Lizzy" came up with
all those years ago. Might be a good day to get
your version out and play a round. Just don't
get the GO TO JAIL card!!!! Hope you're well
and that all your NEWS is good!
