In a scene very reminiscent of Mrs. O'Leary's appearance in the 1911 fire
commemoration, yet another Kate and Daisy amble past the old Pumping Station on
North Michigan Avenue, once again before a slender and indifferent audience.
This time the occasion was the opening of "Here's Chicago," a privately-operated
visitor center that was in business for about a decade in the Pumping Station. In
addition to a multi-media tour of the city, "Here's Chicago" for a few years
included a free exhibit of materials relating to the fire from the collections
of the Chicago Historical Society, as well as a souvenir shop named "Cheerie
O'Leary's Gift Emporium."
