A poet named Lewis MacAdams imagined the ancient, real river trapped inside the built imprisoned one, and asked Angelenos to do the same. So that was the river then - demoted to a flood control channel, wet most of the year thanks only to a grudging trickle out of water reclamation plants and getting only a trickle of interest from official Los Angeles.īut people started to look at it and to ask questions.
has a river? Harry! I told him - you made a movie in it - “Repo Man.” Oh, right, he said. And Harry, a man not given to expressing astonishment, said, L.A.
My old pal, the actor Harry Dean Stanton, phoned up one day and asked what I was up to. When people asked where I lived, and I said, “east of the river,” they waited for the joke. Twenty, 30 years ago, scads of you didn’t even know there was a Los Angeles River.
