Shamokinopoly - The Game Of Shamokin Area

Take a stroll down memory lane with this fun game. It’s unfortunate, however, that many of the businesses featured in the game as properties no longer exist. And most are empty buildings that go missing like teeth…

Independence Street is a pretty lonely place these days. Anyone have a promising business idea?
