LA River
A concrete aquaduct would be more accurate than ‘river’. It connects downtown to the valley, the harbor to the hills. Used by commuters, consumers, casual civilians and swarthy outcasts. Could be better, has been worse, it’s a unique way to traverse a bit of the county and see the sites – just be mindful of what ‘hood you might be passing through along it’s banks.
