On a recent weekend, thousands of volunteers turned out to remove trash deposited during winter rains. Today, it looks like a river again, at least in some places, says volunteer Carol Henning.
"Well, it's beginning to look a little better, I mean.My memory of the river is people having drag races in the LA River, you know, on the cement bottom."
The LA River was the scene of a famous drag race in the 1978 film Grease. Today, parts of the river have been restored as a recreation area and the birds have returned.经过数年的周期性洪水泛滥，在20世纪三、四十年代末期，洛杉矶河是一条混凝土围边的水渠。上周末，数以千计的志愿者参与清除洛杉矶河沉积垃圾的行动。如今，至少在某些地方，洛杉矶河看起来又像一条河了。
志愿者卡罗尔.亨宁说：“我的意思是它开始看起来好一些了。我对这条河的记忆是人们在洛杉矶河上玩短程加速赛车。你知道，就是在水泥河床上。”
在1978年的电影《油脂》中，洛杉矶河曾是著名的短程加速赛车地。今天，部分洛杉矶河里作为休息娱乐区而被修复并且鸟儿已经回来了。
