Description
ANSWER: Sure, it's the Spring St. entrance to the City hall, the picture being taken from north to south to show the row of pillars from a seldom-seen angle. And how many of the thousands of persons who pass here daily have bothered to notice the fancy colorful tilework over this pillared portal?
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.1--This is easy. Great ones have passed here. So have a lot of briefcases. And resolutions. To and fro people go and seldom see what camera does. No contest, no prizes. Just fun, what is it? Answer, Page 30, Part II.
