Community Chest
According to The Monopoly Companion, Community Chest was Atlantic City's "forerunner of the United Way." It is fitting, then, that Community Chest cards are most likely to give you money. In Atlantic City, Community Chest was located near Pacific Avenue. It is fitting that one Community Chest space is near Pacific Avenue on the board. Community Chest cards are usually yellow, and sit next to Free Parking. The treasure chest symbol on the board was not added until 1936. Before then, the space had only text.
