RockRaines Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wow, I cant really express how huge this is for the city. Real estate, development, the entire lake front on the south side of chicago. Huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we won the actual Olympics for the US, you would see changes as soon as it was announced. This is huge for this city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 But this doesn't mean that Chicago gets it though, right? This just means that Chicago is the city that the US Olympics committee backs in the pledge to get the 2016, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe to compete for the actual games, we need to start some of the projects. QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) Now to plan avoiding driving to Chicago for the entire summer in 2016...... We dont want you here anyways....... I would rent out my condo for the entire games at a premium and stay the hell away from the city for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
