Notes from LA

“It’s a great place to live, but I wouldn’t want to visit there.” —Will Rogers

Goats deliver on time, under budget

The 100 goats hired to graze at Angels Knoll park in downtown completed their job today–they’ve eaten all of the lower field of the park– and will leave tomorrow at 10 am, according to a press representative for the Community Redevelopment Agency.

I can get used to these goats. They don’t sue for discrimination or wrongful termination. They don’t hog parking meters. They don’t shake City Council down for pay raises.

Curbed wonders if they’d be willing to dig a subway to the sea.
