The city of Monterrey, Mexico has a bid in to be the host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics. This video says it all - complete with a classic Sinatra song! Monterrey, however, has some pretty stiff competition with the following cities: Cape Town & Durban, South Africa; Busan, South Korea; Delhi, India; Doha, Qatar; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Istanbul, Turkey; Prague, Czech Rep.; Rome, Italy; Lima, Peru; Toronto, Canada; and in the U.S. - Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Birmingham, AL. The International Olympic Committee will narrow down these cities to five or so and then is expected, in mid-2013, to announce the winner. Go Monterrey!!!
