True, but Summer Olympics are a much grander scale than Winter Olympics. Squaw Valley, CA held the Winter games once, and that is hardly a city.

This would allow me (and perhaps others) to weigh your opinions more seriously.

A NYC Olympics would be interesting as hell. Ideal city to host one? Probably not.

Well let me elaborate. I believe Philadelphia would be great for the Olympics because, Philadelphia is almost always overlooked by its Neighbor NYC. This would let the world know that Philly is more then just a city next to NYC, but a world class destination.

I hope they don't bid again but Chicago and NYC, to me, would be the obvious choices.
