The photo class I joined wandered Philly’s Reading Terminal Market last week. The Market has existed since the early 1890s, on street level below the Philadelphia terminal of the long-defunct Reading Railroad (now part of the Philadelphia Convention Center). The market is vast and busy, and I found shooting there challenging. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2022/June-2022/Reading-Terminal-Mkt-6-6-22/ Comments always welcome! Rick

LIked your snaps from there -- I found it a bit challenging too when I was in Philly visiting you.. but I loved the place! - You are saying it was busy but from the shots you took it looks pretty empty compared to when I was there on the summer of 2014.. HOpe you got some good eats as well as your photos. ann On 6/11/2022 6:27 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > The photo class I joined wandered Philly’s Reading Terminal Market last week.

Larry to be clear -- the streets are in Atlantic City - the the 4 railroad lines are real, too  .. Reading is a town in PA - you can go ther by rain from PHilly.  The The B&O Rail , Short Line adn Pennsylvania Railroad are the other 4 you can own.  the B&O stands for Baltimore and Ohio Railroad which was an important one for the Union sodliers during the Civil war. I played Monopoly  years ago and as  a kid thought it was fun but as I learned more about what a monopoly was in a real sense I never wanted to play it again.. You can probably figure out why :-) ann On 6/11/2022 9:47 PM, Daniel J.

The point of any game is enjoyment. In this case with others. It’s true that the game on which Monopoly was based — The Landlord’s Game — was meant to teach economic lessons but that purpose was long ago abandoned on the trash heap of Victorian moral excessiveness.

Ayup, capitalism and monopolistic practices won out Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game created by Lizzie Magie in the United States in 1903 as a way to demonstrate that an economy that rewards individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth,[1] and to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular his ideas about taxation.[3] The Landlord's Game had two sets of rules originally, one with taxation and another on which the current rules are mainly based. When Monopoly was first published by Parker Brothers in 1935, it did not include the less capitalistic taxation rule, which resulted in a more aggressive game. Parker Brothers was eventually absorbed into Hasbro in 1991. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly—the domination of a market by a single entity. > > Paul > >> On Jun 12, 2022, at 5:03 PM, ann sanfedele <annsan@nyc.rr.com> wrote: >> >>  >>> On 6/12/2022 4:21 PM, Larry Colen wrote: >>>> On Jun 12, 2022, at 4:50 AM, ann sanfedele <annsan@nyc.rr.com> wrote: >>>> .. snip... snip.. >>>> >>>> I played Monopoly years ago and as a kid thought it was fun but as I learned more about what a monopoly was in a real sense I never wanted to play it again..
