A Localโs Guide to Venice, CA
Wikipedia:
Venice was founded by Abbot Kinney in 1905 as a seaside resort town. It was an independent city until 1926, when it merged with Los Angeles.
Venice is one of my favorite neighborhoods in LA: laid back vibes, lots of palm trees, and tons of cool places. Want to know more?! Keep swiping. ๐ด
