What ever happened to naming things after locals who died in service of their country. Used to be the politicians got a plaque and the hero got the honor. Now the hero gets a plaque and the politician takes the honor.
I think the park should be named after Mrs O’Leary. The water tower is one of the few structures (the only one?) standing after, according to legend, Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lantern and started the great Chicago fire.
