tfl: The Flatiron Life

These are the ramblings of a young married couple in the great City of Chicago.

Go Baku!

Friday, 18 April 2008 by Jacob Tomaw

Chicago is nowhere near the front runner for the 2016 Olympics. Good news.

I noticed one of the other cities in the running is Baku. I had never heard of Baku, so that makes it my pick or the 2016 Olympics. The Olympics seem like a great way for cities to get there name on the map.

Baku is so unknown, I could tell you it is the capital of Azerbaijan, but most people have never even heard of Azerbaijan. Double Bonus!
