New Commercial for Chicago 2016 Olympics

by Matt B on August 21st, 2008

It has been a long, memorable couple of weeks, and the Olympic Games will soon be coming to a close. However, Chicagoans will remain Olympic-minded for at least another year. That’s because Chicago is one of the four finalists bidding for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee will make its final decision on a host city on October 2, 2009 in Denmark.

The Chicago 2016 Committee has created a new commercial, highlighting all that is great about the Windy City. It is narrated by Chicago native William Peterson. I have to admit, while parts of it are a bit corny, it perfectly embodies everything I love about my Sweet Home Chicago.
