If Chicago does get the Olympics, you can be sure that federal funding will start to pour in to the area for transportation upgrades/expansion. The CTA in particular must be drooling at the thought of getting that money, they want to build a new train line (circle) and extend at least half the other ones.

Damn, Detroit needs this then!

Exactly! Olympics = Circle Line. It just has to, with all those people pouring in from O'Hare, they need an expedient way to connect to the northside. It might eventually get put into play on its own, but in my eyes the Olympics would make it a sure thing.

If you're dreading being in Chicago when the Olympics come, just rent out your place and take some vacation time. People made a killing renting their apartments and houses out during the Atlanta games.

Didn't happen in ATL. The only thing we got were buses from Houston and other big cities for a couple of weeks.
