So the announcement of the 2016 Olympic setting is finally almost here.

The announcement will either create an unprecedented amount of buzz and anticipation or a vat of disappointments and “What ifs?” But let’s forget the latter possibility and take the former by figuratively joining our hands and minds in hope.

So Chicagoans, I ask you this: Where are you going to celebrate if the Olympic Committee decides to go for the Chica-gold? (patent rights pending…)
