What makes a good Olympic choice? Where would you want the winter Olympics and Why if you could have your choice? Salt Lake City w/ alpine events in Park City/Snowbasin. Does/Did not get any better than that: great snow, great terrain, great venues, great crowds, great enthusiasm, great party. Thank god it only lasts two weeks though. BoftheW |

If there's anything that doesn't need to be subsidized on the public dole, spectator sports is it. Fortunately, the chances of the Olympics coming to Detroit is vanishingly small. Unfortunately, our lousy professsional sports teams still manage to extort new stadia out of us on a regular basis. /grumble -- //-Walt // // http://tinyurl.com/3gg3e |
