Track Town USA, aka, Eugene, Oregon, will be hosting the 2008 Olympic Trials. The Trials are just around the corner and I’m anxious to see if my city can handle the event. It will be great to see people of color in my town, and I hope that all of them are welcomed and treated with respect.
All eyes will be on Eugene, so anything that goes wrong from traffic congestion, unbearable allergy symptoms, parking issues to bad communication, or whatever else the media picks up on will give the world an impression of what Eugene is like.
This is a great opportunity for the city and people of Eugene to come together and celebrate our history and future as being Track Town USA. Let’s welcome our guests accordingly and enjoy being in the spotlight.
If you attended the Trials in Sacramento, or anywhere else, let me know what you liked/disliked about the meet.
Peace.
