this weekend we went out to Watts to check out the famous Watts towers, it was built by Simon Rodin without funding or permission from approximatley 1925 to 1955, the towers were built from found materials, bits of glass steel and trash, the city was trying to tear it down in the early 60’s but an opposing community fought to preserve the monument to nothing and won, so on the site now stands a community arts centre and the towers, which are in the process of being restored, well worth the trip
