Description
Los Angeles' Wrigley Field was built by William Wrigley Jr. in the 1920s. The structure was demolished in 1966.
ANSWER: With all those corny clues, you surely were able to guess that the structure shown in the photo is Wrigley Field on E 42nd Place at Avalon Blvd., home of the Los Angeles Angels baseball club.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.131 -- Just because a lot of hits have been made here, you might think it is a movie studio. But it isn't, by gum. And even if cherubs do cavort here, it isn't heaven, either. No labor trouble, but plenty of strikes. See Page 28, Part ll.
