As a kid I never really understood the game of Monopoly. I could play it, but I didn't necessarily enjoy it. I do, however, remember that everyone wanted to buy "Boardwalk". It somehow meant you could better win the game. It was years before I knew where the famous Boardwalk was, and only in recent years that I understood how it applied to coastal living.

This isn't even really a boardwalk, but rather a pier. However, it sent my mind back to those days, long ago, when we would pull out the game board, divvy up the money, and see who could out-buy everyone else. Just a little walk down memory (Boardwalk) lane.
