Wednesday’s Top of the Scroll: A splashing Homage to Controversial Aqueduct that Redefined Los Angeles
From the Los Angeles Times:
“As water from the Eastern Sierras began gushing down a hillside into the San Fernando Valley on Tuesday, an actor dressed as William Mulholland hollered on cue, ‘There it is! Take it!’
“Exactly 100 years after the opening of the aqueduct that would transform the young city and its surrounding orchards and dust-and-tumbleweed ranches into modern Los Angeles, the 1913 celebration of its completion was reenacted at the Santa Susana foothills site where mountain water still splashes down a sluice.”
