Even though actor and Second City alum Mike Hagerty lived in Los Angeles, to the crowd gathered last Tuesday at McNally’s in Beverly, it was as if he never left the neighborhood where he grew up.
A sign outside of McNally's Pub on Western Avenue in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood pays tribute to actor and comedian Mike Hagerty Tuesday, on what would have been his 68th birthday. Hagerty grew up in Beverly and used to hang out at the Irish pub.

Hagerty, who died last week, was remembered by friends Tuesday at a bar in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood on what would have been his 68th birthday.
“I thought it would be nice if everybody who knew him could at a certain point in time, lift a glass to Mike and get together to share stories.” said Duffy, who grew up in Morgan Park and now lives in Michigan. “It was like he was part of a whole community of people who would hang out together and go to the same bars,” said Leslie, who ended up taking improv classes at Second City due to Hagerty and the crowd’s influence. “I ended up becoming a lawyer, but it made me more confident.” Leslie’s law office is in Evergreen Park, but at one time he was a senior assistant attorney general for Illinois.
