Christian Aeschliman is pissed.
On October 23rd, the 44-year-old, SGV-raised resident of El Sereno was first confronted by what can only be described as 10 gallons of urine left inside plastic bottles along the sidewalk on Via Marisol, just up from Monterey Road on the 15-acre open space known as Elephant Hill.
That was when he placed his first call to L.A. Sanitation and Environment to see if someone could come over and remove the hazardous waste, which he learned from neighbors had been out there for to two to three weeks before he drove by and noticed them himself.
Five calls, more than an hour on the phone, and 20 days later, the bottles continue to fester under L.A.'s brutal sun there, through foggy days and unnatural autumn heat waves alike.
