This piece from National Geographic really brings back memories.  Living only a block and a half distant, we often bicycled in and around the riverbed (and I had my most spectacular but serious accident there).  The 1993 Christmas morning family walk to the river stands out in my mind, as does the homeless encampment.  And much more.   What a great restoration project this could be.
