I cannot wait to hear the news!!! I am of mixed feelings, but I think it’ll be a positive move for the city.

Anxiously awaiting this announcement and ahve been a supporter since day 1. BMA did great events on the development of our bid. I worry that we have too much hype now and will be the Paris of the 2012 decision, but hope that is proven wrong. I would love to take my sons who would be in their mid and late teens in 2016 to the Olympics in their hometown. Win or lose, few if any US cities could fathom let alone advance the way Chicago has to get to this stage. I just set this Chicago 2016 logo http://www.chicagolandchamber.org/SiteCollectionImages/logos/chicago%202016.jpg as my desktop background (couresty of the Chamber of Commerce – I don’t think they’ll mind). Join in!

I think Chicago has a real shot! Gary, I’m glad to see Slack Barshinger was involved with the bid. Awesome to see businesses going out of their way to bring amazing opportunities to their home cities.
