Goats at Angels Flight

Okay, this isn't about the Gold Line.  It isn't about Art.  But it is about "eats".  More specifically about the goats brought in to eat the grass on the Angels Knoll on Bunker Hill. 


According to Johnny Gonzales, the young man keeping an eye on them, there are 90 goats.  He told me it would take 4 days for them to clear the grassy hillside which means you only have two more days to go to downtown L.A. to join the hundreds of people watching this urban fantasy.  Oh, the company providing the goats is Environmental Land Management.  This company specializes in clearing brush and creating fire breaks around private homes.



To go by Metro, take the Red or Purple Metro Lines from Union Station to the Civic Center Station.  Then walk downhill for about two and a half blocks.  For a quarter you can ride the Angels Flight rail to the top of the hill then walk back down to Angels Knoll.  The goats, by the way, are very friendly.
