Venice Beach is a weird place. It has a very sketchy feel, most of it, and it is currently (as of May 2021, when I last saw it) overrun with homeless and other, uh, proletarian sorts. Not anywhere one would want to be walking around of an evening.
So no more cute, rollerblading girls in swimsuits ?
I used to live in LA and had some friends that lived in that area. Wierd place, a mix of poor young artist types, bums/criminals, rich odd people in the film industry....like Angelica Houston, etc. It sure devolved into what it is now. I lived in a very nice area in he hills above the Valley, but knew to get out years ago. You could actually have a nice day walking around the beach with kids 20 years ago. It was like going to a carnival. I wouldn’t go there if you paid me $$$ now. The Left are cancer.
