Needed: Urban beauty czar

Mariel Garza, the Daily News' editorial writer and op-ed columnist, takes a look at the plans for Phil Anschutz's L.A. Live complex downtown and wonders: "where's the Deputy Mayor of Beauty when you need her?" Earlier, she endorsed preserving the "certain gritty charm" of Parker Center. She also blogs occasionally at, where else, MarielGarza.com.

"where's the Deputy Mayor of Beauty when you need her?"

She was run over and shot while trying to paint over graffitti on a freeway mural.

(That's not bad taste, just black humor.)
