Yesterday, the USOC announced that it chose Chicago as its US City to back in the bid to host the 2016 Summer Games.
This is great news for the city where I went to college and remember fondly.
While there is practically no scale to compare hosting the Olympics to, bear in mind that Chicago hosted the Democratic Convention a few years back (partially as a matter of pennance for the father's sins in 1968) and the World Cup opening ceremonies and rounds in 1994.
I'm happy for the city of Chicago and will watch this story closely.
Perhaps a Chicago-cut and a few Rob Roys at Gibson's will influence the IOC's decision!
