Remember when Boston was in the running to host the 2024 Summer Games? The unofficial capital of New England dodged a cannonball by passing it off to L.A. to be the U.S. candidate before the International Olympic Committee made their choices for both 2024, which went to Paris, and 2028, which ended up being awarded to L.A. Thank about it...Boston WOULD HAVE HAD THE GAMES! Does anyone have around $20 Billion to share?
just to add...here's what has happened to a few cities in recent decades after hosting the games for the world.
