Description
ANSWER: The modern structure in the photo could be northing else, of course, but the Mirror Building at 2nd and Spring Sts. And, while artistically symbolic, those rolls of newsprint in the foreground eliminated any possible guesswork.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.167 -- It borders on ridiculous to imagine that there's anyone in town who won't recognize this building. But, just in case, the photographer picked a foreground that makes it a dead giveaway. Not much point in turning to Page 32, Part ll.
