Have you been watching the 2016 Rio Olympics?  Those arenas, venues, stadiums and dwellings look great on television don't they.  Wonder how they will look years after the Olympic celebration leaves Rio?

It costs a country/city billions of dollars to host the Olympics.  A tremendous amount of money is spent putting on the spectacle.  All for only a few glorious weeks of attention.  Worldwide media coverage, an influx of people from all over the globe, then, in a flash, it's gone.

So what happens to all the buildings, pools, signs, lights, parking lots, etc.?  It's a site for sore eyes in most cases.
