Chicago Deserves the 2016 Olympics The amazing thing is that you can walk through the entire world in a matter of minutes, often within the same neighborhood. The city is truly diverse and truly a melting pot and, for the most part, everyone generally gets along.
If there is another thing that Chicago is, however, it would be a city with a chip on its shoulder and a heft inferiority complex. Throughout our lives here in this town we are told, time and again, that we are the "Second City."
That's why Chicago needs the 2016 Summer Olympics. Nothing would show the world what a great and worldly city this place is more than hosting the world's athletes. The entire city would be on display for every country in every far-flung corner of the world. People would finally see that this city can match itself against Beijing and London and Paris and anyplace else. It might also go a long way to shutting New York up as well.
