Hood quiz: May 25
Who is Cornell Drive in Hyde Park named after?
The first person to post the correct answer here wins a Sun-Times T-shirt.
Last week's winner was Elaine Soloway. She knew improv comedy was created by the Compass Players at a bar in Hyde Park.

Cornell Drive is named after Hyde Park founder Paul Cornell. I also attended Paul Cornell Elementary School from 1977-1979 and have the funny looking class pictures to prove it. Sadly it was torn down to make room for a retirement home.
