Bukowski Landmark

Charles Bukowski (1921-1994), a hard-drinking writer, best known for chronicling his own seedy life on the streets of Los Angeles, penned his first novel Post Office, at a bungalow. City leaders decided to name it a historic landmark, by recommendation of cultural heritage commission, despite its bedraggled condition.
Note being - "Hollywood is famous not because everybody has been a saint or a nun. It's always attracted complicated and important people and Charles Bukowski certainly fits that mold."(!)
