It does seem odd to have a “celebration” of the Chicago fire.

Yes, it is an historic event, but one to celebrate and build a festival atmosphere around?

That was my thought too. Something you would commemorate or memorialize, perhaps, but celebrate? It would be like having a celebration of the San Francisco earthquake. Whee!

There must be something else positive about Chicago that could be used as a platform for celebrating. Um...
