Today was the first day of the new Monopoly game at McDonalds. I’ve been waiting all week because the commercial for the new game have been on TV all day and all night on every channel – you can’t get away from them!

I know you have to order the large fries and the large drinks to get the game pieces. I don’t know what other menu items have game pieces – I’ll have to go up there and take a look at lunch.

I’m really hoping to win something this time and am willing to subject my entire family to multiple McDonalds meals to get the most game pieces I can get. Wish us luck!

Just read about a planned entertainment complex for southern Alabama similar to the hugely popular tourist destination in Branson, MO. The planned complex will have hotels, restaurants, performance venues, a midway and an RV park.

This is exciting news for people in the southeast. They haven’t had anything like it and the influx of tourists and their dollars plus the nearby quality performances by big name stars will certainly improve the quality of life for many people throughout alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, as well as other areas within a day’s drive of Dothan.

The country music resort will be called, “Country Crossing,” and groundbreaking is expected later this year.
