Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated July 29, 1960 reads, "Drivers traveling north along Burbank-Glendale section of Golden State Freeway are greeted by unusual sight - faces of five cats leering at them from across Los Angeles River channel. Unknown artist has painstakingly sketched various cat expressions on storm drain tension lids that open into river. Normally closed, lids keep children from crawling around underground pipes and tunnels."
