The sad story of Chavez Ravine

Most people know of Chavez Ravine, located just off the Arroyo Seco Parkway (aka Route 66), as the site of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

But many don’t know what was there before the baseball park. This video helps explain it.

The saga inspired one of Ry Cooder‘s most-acclaimed albums, “Chavez Ravine.”
