I kinda felt like, what? Cleveland? Houston's weren't that great either. And also, frankly, I feel like you can't own all of hollywood, can you? Maybe that's being nitpicky. But yeah. I bet either Hollywood or Disneyworld becomes the new Boardwalk. I agree with everything you both said. I kinda felt like, what? Cleveland? Houston’s weren’t that great either.

Wrigley and Fenway I can understand, but Jacobs Field in Cleveland is a nothing stadium, it's not famous at all. They just didn't have anything else to list I guess...

It would have also made sense to have two or three landmarks per city so that each property set on the board would consist of a city. On the other hand, I could see how you could construct a property set with three baseball stadiums (yawn) or both the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower (if they had been included). I wonder if the money will just have extra zeros, so that rent on the "Boardwalk" property were $500 or even $5000 instead of the steal of a deal $50 that it has been. I also wonder if the railroads will be replaced with an industry like biotech or hardware.

Some of the cities, Atlanta and Cleveland and Dallas in particular, had nothing interesting to choose, while others like Chicago New York and Boston had more than one excellent choice. That might also have allowed more choices per city, since I found it strange to be missing things like the Sears Tower and Empire State Building...
