This morning's news carried information on two events, which prompted me to think about related ideas, and I've decided to share them.
The first news item I encountered was a report on the Fox Chicago morning news about the new Schaumburg (IL) Convention Center and its attached (integrated actually) Renaissance Hotel. This led me to think about the facilities needed for a Worldcon.
( Musings about Worldcon Facilities )
The second news item I encountered was an extensive article in the Chicago Tribune on the Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics. After reading the article I have some observations about the facilities in the bid.
