You could call it a home away from home. In downtown Beijing, U.S. Olympic team sponsor Bank of America established a Hometown Hopefuls Family Center to give American athletes a place to spend time with families and friends away from the competition. The Family Center is set up in a large, upscale Chinese restaurant facility called the China Lounge. VOA Sports Editor Parke Brewer reports it has been a popular gathering place.
