Defeated

Today Chicago lost the Olympic Bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games...so sad. I was really hoping they would get it -- not only because I absolutely LOVE the Olympics and it would so exciting to have them here -- but also for the economic benefits. If we got the bid it would benefit this whole area immensely.

But, I'm not surprised.

America is not the most popular nation right now, and Chicago is probably one of the most corrupt -- if not THE -- most corrupt city in the country. It's a fact here. Everybody knows it, and it is just accepted. That culture here is a little hard to get used to. ;)

Oh well, I'm just going to have to save up my pennies to go the Olympics somewhere else...
