Locals took advantage of a sunny Sunday on Main Street by traversing the neighborhood’s vast collection of eateries and bars.
At the ninth annual "MAINopoly: The Taste of Main Street" event, over 20 Main Street locations hosted samplings of their best food and drinks, with patrons exchanging "MAINopoly dollars" for items like peanut butter whiskey shots at Jameson’s, the original Sin Taro Donut from Holey Grail Donuts and pizza courtesy of Triple Beam Pizza.
The lawn of the California Heritage Museum acted as the hub of the afternoon, featuring the "Go To Jail" beer garden with drinks provided by Venice Duck Brewery, Dulce Vida Tequila and JuneShine.
To bring weary travelers along the "game board," Green Goddess Pedicabs drivers in Monopoly-inspired outfits gave out rides up and down the street.
The event acted as an attention-grabber for Main Street locations as well as a fundraiser to benefit the Main Street Business Improvement District, helping fund community programming.
