Los Angeles, circa 1940(?)
Matt and I went to LA for the first time in October. We visited the Griffith Observatory and I bought this postcard thinking the fountain was around there at some point in time.
Griffith Observatory- Where is the fountain?
(Elevator shaft circled. Perhaps the fountain could have been there?)
(Map of Griffith Park) Circled is where the fountain is in relation to where I visited.
More on the Mulholland and the "Kool Aid" Fountain.
Matt explains:
Mulholland built an aqueduct (around 1913) and it took water away from the orange groves so they couldn’t grow oranges anymore. Then they bought up the land cheap and then the suburbs happened and everybody got rich.
Kendall adds: That’s why this guy got a fountain?
Matt says: Remember Chinatown? I watched it with you.
