LA Observed reveals a call for a Poet Laureate for Los Angeles. Not a bad idea.
But why stop there?
What about an official City Historian? (The State has one, why not the City?)
We have a City Flower (the Bird of Paradise) and a City Tree (Corral Tree) - what about a City bird? (again, the State has one, why not us?)
What else do we need in that volunteer or honorary capacity? Do we have an honorary Harbor Master for the Port of LA? How about an honorary Fire Chief to be a good will ambassador? Should we crown a "Miss Los Angeles" as well?
Wait, I've got it! Let's bring back the Zanjero!
Ok. Maybe I got a little excited - but a Poet Laureate and a City Historian would be a nice addition to the cultural complexity of Los Angeles.
