RIP Chicago 2016 Olympic bid....

The only reason I am upset is because my chariot, aka the CTA, will probably not become completely modernized after all.

I was thinking of getting together a little bed and breakfast, hoping business and opportunity would have flocked to the edges of my Lake, friends from afar would come and visit me and vast improvements would be made to this grungy, dirty city.

But come on, the Olympics is about SPORTS, and sports in this city are merely another reason to drink.

(Insert SNL DA BEARS SUPERFANS clip here.)

(Hitch a ride on the #152 Addison bus on a Cubs home game day.)

(Try having a worldly conversation with the owner of Hoagie Hut.)

This is such a strange place to live. It really truly is.
