Off the Page at the ICA

A while back I saw an ad in the paper for a new debate series presented by the Boston Globe called Off the Page.  I was totally sold when I saw that the first event would be held at the ICA and would be debating Boston hosting the 2024 Olympics!

I know I'm in the minority but I think it would be absolutely amazing for Boston to host the Olympics!  The thought of the Olympics taking place in my backyard is just too awesome!  I know there are a lot of people worried about logistics and budget but I think we can do it!  We have tons of venues already plus lots of housing thanks to all of the colleges and universities in the area.

A friend of mine joined me so we decided to grab dinner at Atlantic Beer Garden before hand.  I am always amazed at how empty the Seaport can be.

After dinner we headed over to the ICA for the debate.  There was a representative from both sides and two moderators from the Globe.  The guy from No Boston Olympics seemed really hung up on the fact that we would have to build a Velodrome.  He must have said Velodrome 30 times in an hour and a half.

It was so fun to be in the city on a Monday night, and so easy to get home via Uber!
