HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOS ANGELES…. 228 years old today….

Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolá  on the top of a hill in Elysian Park,  saw a large green valley and a beautiful river that ran through it. Portolá named the river El Rio de Nuestra Señora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciúncula, which means “The River of Our Lady of the Angels of Porciúncula.” (Porciúncula means “little parcel of land” in old Italian.)
