National History Demands That Chicago Get the Olympics

Well, we don’t want to add fuel to the fire, but there was this great local story running this week about how the proud tradition of world-renowned international events would continue, should Chicago get the Olympics to come to our quaint little town. In the story, “Chicago Olympics Would Follow In Footsteps of Two World’s Fairs,” Deanna Bellandi writes about both the 1893 and 1933 World’s Fairs and draws comparisons to what might happen to the city should we find ourselves in the situation we’d like to find ourselves.
