5. So do parts of Los Angeles and New York...

Your point being?

8. Both of which have had the Olympics! Maybe it was Chicago's lack of sewage smell that cost them

[ZombieHorde]

11. That is pretty funny. nt

[Aramchek]

9. at least the sewage in New York and Los Angeles is treated

Rio only does things in the Raw!

If it can't be Chicago, I'm glad it's Rio.

12. Just before I logged on..

I thought, "the Moon is in Pisces..I bet it's Rio by the Ocean".B-)

At least the Chicagoans tried to get the Olympics for their city and the jobs it would produce.

13. Rio Celebrates!!!!!

Rio loves you: People hold up a banner with an image of Christ the Redeemer as they gather on Copacabana beach in Rio to wait for the announcement by IOC members in Copenhagen of the host city for the 2016 Olympics



Rio fans on the famous Copacabana beach celebrate today as their city makes it through to the final round of voting - just minutes before being crowned the host city of the 2016 Olympiad

:D

I haven't seen much negativity on DU regarding Chicago's loss.
