Chicago Wins Olympics 2016 Nomination

Chicago has beaten out Los Angeles in a U-S Olympic Committee vote to pick a candidate for the 2016 Summer Games.

Chicago, which has never held an Olympics, now will try to convince the International Olympic Committee that it deserves to be the host. It joins a group of bidders expected to include Madrid, Prague, Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.

The IOC will award the 2016 Games in October of 2009.

I was having a late lunch with my sister when the announcement came on the big screen at the restaurant we were in. Small crowd cheered for the good news. This is great for the Chicago economy. Tourims will bring more business into the local restaurant, stores etc. I also expect improvements to the city in anticipation for the next and final round of selection for the 2016 Olympic host.
