Welcome aBored, Kimberly! The spelling error has been fixed.

I hope you had the chance to go to Bastille Day at Eastern State Penitentiary. The last one was in July 2018. From now on, you have to visit Paris to celebrate le 14 juillet.

It took guts to go for the $250K question, but the payoff would have been worth it. How often do you have a chance to win so much? I've been to AC often and didn't know the answer.

If you know the Monopoly board, that's good enough. Illinois Avenue is the only property that sells for $240. The other two red properties (Kentucky and Indiana) sell for $220. --Bob
