L.A. Observed – an excellent blog on the state of newspaper journalism and other media here in the City of Angels – has a nice video covering a short tour of the L.A. River, courtesy of the Friends of the L.A. River .

It’s a six minute mini-history of the revitalization efforts, very well done and very interesting. Worth checking out – especially if you’re excited about one of the potential Next Great Civil Engineering Projects here in the US of A.
