Say bye-bye to the July 3 "Independence Day Eve Fireworks Spectacular" at Taste of Chicago this year -- a major bummer for folks who enjoy the crush of a giant crowd.

Which gets us to this week's quiz question:
When and where did Taste of Chicago get its start?

Congrats to Zack Newmark who won last week's quiz. He knew late Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak is considered the father of Chicago Machine Politics?

Congrats to last week's winner, Stacy Rubenstein.

She knew former Chicago Mayor "Long" John Wentworth once told voters, "You damn fools ... you can either vote for me for mayor or you can go to hell."?

This week' quiz is in honor of our late pal, Carlos Hernandez Gomez. He'd know the answer immediately.

Who is considered the father of Chicago Machine Politics?

The first reader to post the correct answer wins a Sun-Times T-shirt. I'll post your answers and the winner next week.

Last week's winner was Nick Georgopoulos. He was first to know Chicago-style deep dish pizza was invented at Uno's. Nick didn't get specific with who invented the casserole-esque pie. Which was a good call. Generally, Uno founder Ike Sewell, a former liquor salesman, gets credit. But a story in the Chicago Daily News back in the '60s credited Sewell's employee Lou Malanati for coming up with the recipe. Either way, Nick scores a T-shirt. Congrats.

This week, here's your question:

Which Chicago mayor once told voters, "You damn fools ... you can either vote for me for mayor or you can go to hell."?
(That's him over there.)

The first reader to answer correctly wins a Sun-Times T-shirt.

Konkol's Korner reader Sal Curran.

He was the first to email the correct answer to last week's quiz. Curran knew that Clybourn Street is named after Archibald Clybourn, who was a butcher at Ft. Dearborn
and in 1835 became Chicago's first police constable.

Congrats, Sal. Email me your address and I'll ship out your prize.

Look for a new quiz question on Wednesday.

The first reader to answer wins a Sun-Times T-shirt. Tell your pals.

Who is Clybourn Avenue named after and what made the guy famous?

Here's a clue: That's him over there --->

David Saginur of Lake Bluff. He wins a Sun-Times T-shirt.
Mr. Saginur was the first reader to post the correct answer to last week's quiz question: When did Chicago's tradition of having an "official Christmas tree" begin, where was it on display and what mayor flipped on the lights?
The answer: Mayor Carter Henry Harrison lit the city's first Christmas tree in 1913. The tree was on display in Grant Park.

Marvez Cane, who knew the oldest building in Chicago is the Clarke House., which was owned by Henry B. Clarke. Contact me to collect your prize.

Actually, loyal reader Walter Brzeski had the correct answer first, but was nice enough to forgo the T-shirt because he's a repeat winner.

Keep coming back for your chance to win free stuff.

Just so you know: Henry B. Clarke was a wealthy hardware dealer who died in 1849; thereafter, the building became known as the "Widow Clarke's house."

It was moved from its former location in the 4500-block of South Wabash, to its current site in 1977, where it is part of the Prairie Avenue District.It was moved from its former location in the 4500-block of South Wabash, to its current site in 1977, where it is part of the Prairie Avenue District.
