I am a 29 year old male resident of Chicago, Illinois. Ever since I was a child I have loved the Olympics - both winter and summer. I don't know what it is about the Olympics that drives my love. It could be the intense competition. Or the nationalism. Or the fact that the athletes in most Olympic sports work their entire lives for one short moment of Olympic glory. It could be the combination of all of these factors. Regardless of the source of this love, every two years my life gets put on hold for the two weeks of the Olympics. I rush home from work to watch the latest competitions. I avoid looking at the Internet during the day so as not to spoil the outcomes of the day's competitions. I stay up late into the night and watch them early in the morning. It is my lifes dream to actually go to the Olympics one day.
There is one thing that would be better than watching the Olympics on TV or even going to see the Olympics in a far away country. That would be to have the Olympics come to me. Well, not exactly to me, but to Chicago. I can think of no better city in the world to host the Summer Olympics than Chicago. That's why the title of this Blog is 2016 Olympics in Chicago. I hope through this Blog to advocate, prod, and build support from the citizens of Chicago and the world for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Chicago.
So come on people... Join me as we bring the 2016 Olympics to one of the greatest cities in the world!

I think you have a great site and are doing a good job of promoting Chicago as a host for the 2016 Games.
I created a blog with a similar but slightly different focus. Specifically, the blog at http://www.chicagogold.blogspot.com/ is designed to serve as a forum to discuss the pros and cons and other considerations of whether Chicago should bid rather than just promoting a bid.
The way I look at it, it is important to gather the potential arguments against having the Games here so that they can be addressed as soon as possible.
