- Description
- ANSWER: If you're wondering why these Know Your City photos are getting easier, it's because the series is coasting to the finish. Going to wind it up Wednesday with No.250. Surely you recognized today's--the Southern Pacific freight yards out between N Broadway and N Spring St. Principal clue, of course, was the city's No.1 landmark in the background, the City Hall tower.
