For one brief shinning moment the entire city knew what it felt like to be Cub fans.

I'm still in complete utter shock. Having 2 wars does not help.

Chicago is a world class city without the Olympics! Get over it and grow up! Idiots! Daley is a dysfunctional and incompetent mayor. Who the heck hires folks to run departments without experience nor success in the area they are running! Daley deserves the NO vote because he is incompetent! No hate just the da*n truth!

Did that girl in the ugly hat really give gentrification as a reason why she was opposed to the Olympics? BWAHAHA.Someone find her and explain to her that the reason she was able to come to Chicago and go to whatever school she and her friends are attending in the Loop is in large part because of gentrification.
