I’m still learning my way around New LA, but I see more lion statues in the loading screen than in the actual town.
There’s one waaaaaaay up on top of a portal at Fort Marriner (is it still called that?) I don’t WvW, and whenever I need to go there for some reason I do it from the icon at the top left corner of my screen. So I am almost never at Fort Marriner for any reason.
That’s the only Lion statue I see. This is supposedly Lion’s Arch!
We should have a Lion Statue where the old one was at the “Lion’s Court” Point of Interest. (The area seems to be some sort of Sylvari “Pale Tree” shrine now. 
Very strange that they should have the largest influence in the new look of our city, given their current strained relations with the other races).
Another statue should be erected in the middle of Coriolis Plaza, where it is the first thing travelers see when they enter town through one of the Asuran Gates from another city.
It would be nice as well to have some smaller lions flanking the entrances from Gendarran Fields and Bloodtide Coast.
In other words, Lions need to greet people as they come in to town, and they need to be in the middle of the primary gathering spots. (Although I don’t imagine the old Festival center at the Grand Piazza will be as festive for all races anymore having been taken over by the Sylvari shrine. Maybe we need to talk about that too? It’s pretty, but it’s in the wrong spot. It’s as if we no longer have a central location for festivals.)
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.
