From July 2nd.
3. WEEGHMAN PARK-- Before there was a Wrigley Field with its chewing gum connections, there was a Weeghman Park, associated with Charles Weeghman who operated a chain of quick-lunch places in the city.
The park at Clark and Addison was a pioneer in ballpark ripoff, er, food, as it was the first with a permanent concession stand.
4. As former Bear running back star WALTER PAYTON was dying of a rare liver disease in 1999, he and former teammate Matt Suhey bought a Zagat's restaurant guide and decided to eat at Chicago's ten finest restaurants, but, unfortunately, Sweetness died before hey were able to finish the project.
