Bend, Oregon Monopoly
The title refers to the board game, not a business monopoly. Sorry to anyone coming here looking for juicy Bend business gossip. :)
According to CNNMoney, Monopoly is updating its look with modern places and landmarks and further, letting users vote on their board placement. That's pretty cool, and it brings to mind the panoply of custom Monopoly games that are floating around out there on just about every conceivable topic.
Which led me to wonder: Is there a custom Bend, Oregon Monopoly game anywhere? I tentatively want to say that I might remember seeing one at one time—perhaps in one of the shops downtown—but I'm pretty doubtful. A cursory web search revealed nothing.
So maybe I'll make one. It'd certainly be easy enough to print out new board spaces and glue them onto an old game; anyone have any suggestions as to what they'd like to see on Bend Monopoly?
(And then, of course, we'll have to play at the next blogger meetup.)

I have one.
A Bend, Oregon Monopoly board complete with Wall, Bond and Minnesota streets.
Funny thing is, though... I bought it on eBay from a gal in the Midwest.

The Bend version is real fun until you realize you can't mark up your properties 300% when you sell them.

F.Y.I.
St. Vincent de Paul in La Pine has a BRAND NEW special centennial edition of Bendopoly for $3.00. Just saw it there and had to share it with you. Maybe you can get your hands on one afterall if you ever make it down to this neck of the woods.
Good luck!!
