Default World Monopoly City Vote - Nominate Calgary!

http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/s...da-0b81c65165f6

Quote:
Since last week, fans have been asked to vote on the company's website for the cities that should fill the precious squares on Hasbro's world-famous board game. The 20 world cities with the most votes as of Feb. 28 will earn a spot on the board known for making Marvin Gardens a household name. And while Canadian cities were at first slow getting out of the gate, all three are currently in the Top 20.

As of Monday afternoon, Canada was the only country with three cities in the Top 20. Montreal was ranked No. 6, behind Paris, London, New York, Rome and Sydney, Australia. Vancouver was No. 13 and Toronto No. 19.

Monopoly will select the top two among "wild-card" cities chosen by online voters. Quebec City, Winnipeg and Calgary are fighting for those spots.
I figure the top 2 wild cards will go where the "purples" are on regular Monopoly(Baltic & Mediterranean Avenue).

Vote Here --> www.monopoly.com

Do we really want Calgary as being the "Projects" of the world Monopoly board?

I say let Winnipeg have that distinction.

This seems silly. It's a fricken board game which no one will buy.

Calgary isn't an option. Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto only.

You can nominate a city in the field below that list.

Voted for Crotch Lake, Ontario. I'd love to see that next to London and Paris.
