Monopoly Free Parking, 1936

Free Parking has been in the realms of pop culture even since this 1936 "patent pending" early edition of Monopoly. Another interesting fact is that there is a Chance card with a Parking Fine of $15. Many cities in the United States are still at $15 or even below for parking violation fines. We love this satire article from our one of our sponsors, The Parking Pomegranate, about Donald Shoup petitioning to remove Free Parking from Monopoly. This is The Parking Podcast Museum’s second oldest artifact.
