Time will tell. I sure hope it goes well.
But isn't Vancouver already "noticed" on a global stage? What will the city do with that kind of extra exposure? I mean, Vancouver's already known for its beauty (ie the mountains, the water, the outdoors, etc) - other than that, I don't think it's known for much else. I could be wrong, and if I am, please correct.

Will this extra exposure (b/c of the Olympics) bring us more businesses to the city? Will more people come to Vancouver to live, work, and play?
