Everyone in Los Angeles has seen the LA River, and has heard that it’s being revitalized. But who knows where it is, exactly–and what exactly is happening on its banks?<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

On this Friends of the LA River tour, we’ll walk and drive along the river, as we talk about its central role in the city’s history and the necessity of the ambitious ongoing revitalization to LA’s future.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

The tour convenes at Bette Davis Picnic Area (across the 134 from the Griffith Park zoo–map below), where we form carpools, and stops at the mighty headwaters in Canoga Park, the verdant beautiful stretch in the Sepulveda Basin, the 1\/2-mile-long Great Wall of LA mural and new Tujunga Wash Greenway, and the new park projects through the neighborhoods and film studios in Sherman Oaks and Studio City and beyond.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll eat lunch at an excellent Thai noodle shop en route (other options too–or feel free to bring your lunch), and we’ll end with an optional stop at the legendary Cuban bakery Porto’s.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n
