The selection of which cities made it and which didn't were based on a popularity contest and had no basis in reality. Not that the game of Monopoly has any basis in reality anyway.

Or, to those of us natives of Kirkfield, Bobcaygeon, Kinmount, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay, Norland, Cameron and Coboconk: the City of Kawartha Mistakes. This place isn't even a PLACE, but an unholy poltical amalgamation at the scissor-hands of Mike Harris.
