Living on the Monopoly Board

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

One of the things that has struck me about living in London is how it seems that every street corner I turn around I come across another street name that is straight off the Monopoly board. It excites and delights me.

Without fail.

So I thought I would play a little blogging game with it. I will seek out all of the places on the board and make a record of my discoveries there. Given the combo of my iPhone and its WordPress client, it should be easy enough to get my thoughts done on the hop.

This is probably something only my mother is going to be interested in, but I don't much care. It seems like fun to me. So children, let's just remind ourselves about the places on the board, shall we?
