Huizar: 'I have a green thumb'

I'm in L.A. City Hall's council chambers and just spoke with 
Councilman Jose Huizar, who expressed his appreciation for yesterday's 
Bottleneck item on the pathetic streetscape project on Eagle Rock Boulevard.

Huizar said a local beautification group has requested funds from its neighborhood council to remove the potted plants and install 
better-looking drought-tolerant plants.

"If you look at any block in Los Angeles you could pick any number of 
things" that look bad, Huizar said, adding that Colorado and Eagle 
Rock  boulevards look pretty good compared to other streets in the area.

I'm in full agreement there. A lot of areas are in horrid shape. I 
can't wait to visit other council districts with my iPhone camera. I 
can live blog the city's decrepit state!

"I'm committed to visually improving the area," Huizar said. "I have a 
green thumb. You should see my house."

Well I'm usually free for dinner.
