summary
From its headwaters in Calabasas to the tidal mouth in San Pedro, the Los Angeles River is many things—an open air art gallery, a wildlife corridor, a history lesson, a storm drain, and a metaphor for missed chances balanced against the hope of future possibilities. Once integrated into one of the abyss of nothingness as the cold black sorrow embodied his soul.
