The traffic surrounding the courthouse and the occasional cell phone ringtone seemed to be the only differences between 1907 and 2007 on Saturday at the Monroe County Courthouse.

I recently learned this movie was based on a book by Jonathan Safran Foer, who also wrote “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” – my new favorite book.

Monopoly: Paris edition

By Mike Abrams · Sunday, June 17,2007 4:58 p.m.
