Racing to Save the Stray Dogs of Sochi

[Karen]

Here's a concept:

How about boycotting the Olympics and the IOC until they stop awarding the Olympics to nations that have the best bribes, stop supporting nations which raze villages to put in Olympic venues, and stop holding them in corrupt third world countries in general?

If only we could! I sometimes wonder what happens to some of these places after the Olympics are over. I remember being in Beijing and seeing the "Build New Beijing, Hold Great Olympics" signs everywhere, and wonder if all those building are still in use. Beijing is a pretty bustling place, so maybe they are, but what about other spots?
