William Mulholland went from being a
ditch tender with the Los Angeles City Water Company to be the
superintendent and chief engineer of the city’s water
department. He was responsible for building the 233-mile aqueduct
that brings the Owens River water to Los Angeles. The water arrived
in Los Angeles on November 5, 1913. Mulholland Drive was named in
his honor.
The Mulholland Fountain was dedicated August 1, 1940. It quickly
was dubbed the Kool-Aid Fountain because of the way it was
illuminated with colored light at night.

FVNEM? by Eagle Rock Rob. A short exercise is required to find
the proper coordinates (Be careful--I was 1 digit off and it took
me to the wrong neighborhood).
