So, by now, you all know that the United States Olympic Committee voted Boston as its Applicant City for the 2024 Summer Games and the Paralympic Games.
Boston was selected over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The last U.S. city to host the Olympics was Salt Lake City back in 2002 and it has been 18 years since the Summer Olympics has called the USA home.
The field is not yet complete, but for now Boston is competing against Rome. Germany is expected to enter a bid for either Berlin or Hamburg, South Africa will likely throw their hat into the ring, and Paris and Istanbul have been said to be entering the competition as well.
The host city will be chosen by the International Olympic Competition in 2017.
So, I ask you, based upon the knowledge that you have, what’s your opinion?
Bring on the Olympic Rings or Hell, No! Forget about those things?
Here are some articles for your reading pleasure. Comments welcome.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Given the distinct lack of information, the only possible response to the poll is a gut reaction.

Thanks Nicole!
There will always be pro and con on this – I read this on the CD liner note and expresses some excellent insight not to mention reflective music, only short portion of entire liner – I like the message some much made a copy of it. Credit author (John Klemmer)! Dave 🙂
“Liner Note.”
Time and history tells and shows all – where we have been and where we might go. It provides insight to ourselves, other people and the world in which we live. For us it can provide the opportunity to judge our actions and motivations and perhaps give us a glimpse into the future. Retrospect for prophecy. It is crucial in giving us a sense of self. –

People in favor of this apparently don’t have to commute into Boston for work most days! I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to retire before 2024!
