Looks like the Olympic committee is taking a red eye. They said they'd fly from the site of the decision, which was in Denver, to the city with the winning bid. That's Boston, as just announced.
Boston will square off against cities like Rome, Berlin and perhaps Paris, so maybe they'll get to feel the relief most of us do right now when they likely come up short. They might have been as ambivalent as us, anyway.
So, the rendering of that giant stadium thing? Don't worry about it.
Despite sharp opponents in the Bay, including an official anti-Olympics campaign, and farther afield, the "just say no" advice from the Nation, surely some have just had their Olympic dreams extinguished. Sorry, guys (you too, Willie).
Our city placed its bid in November and had banked some transportation improvements on getting it. There will be a next time, but I think we're safe for a while.
