    Thank goodness my 'hood didn't make the quarterfinals. We don't need to be handing out any more cash to gajillionaires.

    My money's on Nashville. Proximity to Atlanta, Indy, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Memphis, good airport, highways galore, growing by leaps and bounds, and has an aura of coolness.

    I hope with all my might it doesn't come here. We've got no place to put it. Amazon is already going to build a secondary office in the Seaport District, the district that was under water in the nor'easter two weeks ago.

    My part of the Toronto 'burbs has unveiled an ambitious plan for Amazon should Toronto win out. Amazingly enough for this part of the greater Toronto area, it makes some sense to me, would completely revitalize an area of town most people either don't know exists or drive by to get somewhere else.

    Detroit and Gary, Indiana don't make the cut.

    Most folks are still predicting Toronto or Washington, D.C.

    I was hoping they'd choose a city that needed it, although knew it was unlikely.

    Northern Virginia looks good.

    I wouldn't count out Newark either -- can be part of NYC and still expand in almost unlimited fashion.

    Newark would be interesting. It actually has the infrastructure, and easy access to NYC and an international airport.

    I think it'd be neat if it came to Chicago, but it would be fascinating to see them go to Newark.

    Atlanta is still in the running, which means it will make the finals and take a convincing lead only to blow it to ,,, oh, I don't know ... Boston.
