Chicago 2016

How sweet would this be? The 2016 Summer Olympics in Chicago [article]?! I would definitely get my ticket to go if at all possible. God only knows where we'll all be in 8 years, but it'd still be pretty cool.

Looks like it has some stiff competition though. Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Madrid are all still in the running. Those places would be pretty good in their own right, but let's hear it for the hometown team, eh? I mean, this is the Summer Olympics! That's a big deal.

The conclusion comes after a secret ballot by the IOC October 2nd. Let's hope they make quite the case for themselves. Make this Midwest boy proud.
