Oprah Ends Show in Chicago 2011
Agh! It’s official…according to the Associated Press.
Everywhere I travel and mention that I am from Chicago, people always ask, “Can you get me tickets to Oprah?” I am embarrased to answer, “I have never been to a live show!” Well, it looks like I have less than two years to make a check off on my “bucket list”.
Oprah has not only impacted Chicago but has created the legendary “Oprah Effect” globally to budding entrepreneurs, entertainers and authors. Many aspire to ever say, “I’ve appeared on Oprah!”
What shocking, breaking news today…to actually say that Oprah will soon no longer be here.
In terms of economic impact, the Oprah Show alone creates quite a buzz each day as she transports guests to and from the hotel, attracts tourists from around the world and known to create the ultimate block parties. Many remember and still talk about Oprah’s Kickoff Party with the Black Eyed Peas earlier this year with the famous flash mob dance. That was “A GOOD DAY!”
Well, time for another media mogul to step up and fill some big shoes or shall we say, stilletos. Change is never comfortable but it is amazing what will come about. I expect big things to continue to come out of Chicago.
Thank you Oprah for giving us a little heads up! More so, thank you for your massive contribution to Chicago. Your example, focus, hard work and passion will continue to be felt…you will always be to me, the original…Boom, Boom, POW!
We look forward to an amazing wrap up of The Oprah Show over the next couple years and watching you continue to blossom and give life to others from LA.
God bless you!
