It's interesting to compare the civic pride of Chicagoans in the 1890's as they sought to be the site of the Columbia Exposition to the grandiose hopes of the current mayor to realize the Olympics, seemingly for his own piece of posterity. Highly recommended book--wonderful historical page-turner that reads like fiction.
