Why the Long Name
Written by David KimbroughRiverside Drive runs parallel to the Los Angeles River for many miles, from this spot where the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco meet to far into the San Fernando Valley. Riverside Drive crosses the Los Angeles River again about 10 miles north on the other side of Griffith Park where Riverside Drive crosses into Burbank.
