Wrigley Building Stands Proud

Yet another from my walk with @rosiekerr -- this building was built and named for the Wrigley family of Wrigley gum fame and, for those who have heard of the Chicago Cubs, the same family for whom Wrigley Field is named.

What a wonderful building

[eDorre]

Beautiful composition and city scene! Love the dab of history as well! Thank you.

I visited the Wrigley family island last month...Santa Catalina Island! The Chicago Cubs had spring training there for 30 years too!

[Maggiemae]

Imagine having a name like Wrigley! But they have certainly made a name for themselves. Most Americans I saw recently chewed gum!

[Richard Hickey]

Stunning picture.

[Rosie Kerr]

Love the pink topped building and all of the lights! This walk was so fun - such a "target-rich" environment. It is delightful to walk it again, through images. :)

A very imposing building - the centre piece of a wonderful city scape.

Love the pink top - really drew my eyes into the image.

Beautiful lighting :)

[Casablanca]

That clock tower reminds me of the original BBC Broadcasting House in London next to All Souls, Langham Place. The design is so similar. Lovely colours.

[Suzanne]

A most impressive building, wonderful shot

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Your night photography is beautiful as always! FAV!
Do you know if the Wrigleys made their fortune strictly on chewing gum?

[FBailey]

Your nightscapes really are something else! I can admire them but I live in such a small village that I think I would be overwhelmed by them.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful night shot

[PTP: Past their Prime]

Stunning !

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Stunning shot

[Walks @ 7]

Spectacular shot. Fav.

[Rachel]

It looks beautiful at night. It must have been a very large building in its time.

[Lois]

Beautiful capture!

[Taffy]

@skipt07 Wrigley's fortune did come from gum, though the patriarch had done other investments as well. He set up Catalina Island as a preserve, bought the Cubs, etc.

[Marnie]

Yep, I know a little about Wrigley, but always interesting to hear some more of his story. This is another stunning night shot.

[ChristineL]

Great night shot, the pink lighting is really effective.

[haskar]

Beautiful night shot

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@taffy - Wow that's a lot of chewing gum to have made such an impact on the Chicago area!

[Marloes]

Great and colorful nightshot with that bit of water anf reflections in the front.

[Kathie]

Seems to be more brightly lit than surrounding buildings. Great shot

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow! The pink really pops...bubble gum color! Beautiful night scene
