Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Go directly to jail and eat lunch? That's the plan for the old Salem Jail site in Massachusetts. Backers are seeking to create a Monopoly restaurant in the town where the Parker Brothers company began. "Monopoly ... The Restaurant," would be a theme restaurant set up to look like an old-fashioned bank with white pillars. Diners would be welcomed by an animated Mr. Moneybags on a plasma screen and pass by tables with names like "Short Line Railroad" or reserve "jail" a table for two behind a cell door. The restaurant idea is one of nine proposals set to be reviewed Wednesday by the Salem Redevelopment Authority, which is trying to find a developer for the old Salem Jail site. I hope they do it. After all, the town needs something more than the witch thing to rely on to attract tourists.
