McKenna’s pays tribute to police Sgt. O’Connor

McKenna’s, a bar at Frankford Avenue and Aldine Street in Mayfair, is closed due to the coronavirus, but owner Sue McKenna and bartender Denise Jovovich decorated the front window in memory of police Sgt. James O’Connor IV.

The window features a blue and white wreath with a “Protect & Serve” shield, blue paper hearts, white lights and No. 8162, which was O’Connor’s badge number. On another window is a “Back the Blue” sign.

O’Connor, 46, of Millbrook, was shot to death on March 13. A member of SWAT, he was serving a fugitive murder arrest warrant in Frankford. That fugitive, Hassan Elliott, is charged in O’Connor’s killing.

McKenna’s, which closed on March 16, is known for its 80-cent Pabst Blue Ribbon mugs and ladies entrance and as the place where “every hour is a happy hour.” ••
