As of 2006, population of the city known as the "Pride of the Foothills" was estimated at 51,608.
Description	The Frank Chance Building, also known as the Cub Building, was located on the corner of Michigan and Minnehaha avenues (now Glendora Avenue and Foothill Boulevard) and was built in 1912 by Frank Chance. Cub Grocery occupied the north portion (Glendora Avenue side) of the building for many years and was famous for offering.10 cent loaves of bread that were express shipped every morning from the Buffalow Baking Co. in Los Angeles. Note the advertisement for the Cub Pharmacy on the right (Foothill Boulevard side) of the building. Frank Leroy Chance, first baseman for the Chicago Cubs, was a member of the famous "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" double play combination that completed 1,213 double plays in eleven seasons; he was also famous for being the first player ever to be ejected from a World Series game (in 1910). Chance eventually went on to manage the Cubs.
