Description: ANSWER: To be perfectly plane about it, the structure in the photo could be nothing else but the control tower at Los Angeles International Airport. And if you didn't recognize it, you're just not on the beam.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.133 -- Just because it supervises a lot of take-offs and oversees several strips doesn’t mean that this is headquarters for a bunch of burlesque queens. With those clues and the photo hints it should be easy. If not, see Page 28, Part ll.
