Re: NYC 2012 Olympics... bad news.
Being that I lived in NYC and will be moving back soon, I was psyched at the prospect of an NYC Olympics, if any city can handle the congestion and traffic, it's NYC. But, w/o the West Side Stadium, I knew they wouldn't get it.

FH and I were like, 'we should go to London for the Olympics.' and then we realized we'd be married for 6 years by then,I'd be 31 years old and probably have a couple kids...How weird is that!!!?!?!?

I wished we would have gotten it. It is an honor to host the games. I signed many petitions for the games to come here. Without the W. Side Stadium it was doomed. Better Luck in 2016!

I have to say that I am relieved we didnt get it. I was so worried what might happen here if we hosted.

Re: NYC 2012 Olympics... bad news.
I actually am very happy we didn't get it. I was dreading the thought of added congestion, terrorist threats, etc. Those who say it definitely would have been good for commerce...remember Greece? Oh...and also not a fan of the WS Stadium. This city is congested and dirty enough as it is. Sorry, I love NYC but the truth is the truth.

I agree..and NY is too much of a terrorist target as it is...I am selfish I was worried about my brother (NYPD) who would have to work morning noon and night like he did for the Repulican Convention
