Long before there was an internet, HBO, cable, or DirecTV, we had 3 TV stations, plus UHF, and until I was about 15 years old, our TV was a Zenith 19” black and white set. What we did have was Monopoly, and my brother, sisters, and I would play for hours. I remember that the three favorite game pieces were always the ship, the shoe, and the race car. For some reason, though, I always remember the pieces being bigger than they actually are... or maybe life just seemed so much bigger as a kid growing up in Algonac.
