    ipdb.notes
    This is a pin table. The playfield depicts a busy street scene with automobiles. The lower playfield shows the intersection of South LaSalle Street and West Quincy Street in Chicago. At the end of LaSalle Street, in the upper playfield, is the Chicago Board of Trade Building with its clock and, at its top, the 31-foot aluminum statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of grain. This building became a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
