They've got a nice patio. I asked the girl behind the counter if you could buy a beer from them and then sit and drink it on the patio and she said "yes".
how can we change people‘s attitudes about cleaning up after themselves and their dogs?
Jordan Stannard said he was putting his daughter, Sadie, into the family's car when a truck came speeding toward them at Venice Boulevard and Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
I’ve lived on the beach here for a little over three years and while I loved Venice as much as the next person, the past 24 hours here has highlighted the continued decline of this neighborhood and the public safety conditions at the beach. Starting with yesterday afternoon, where I saw a group of homeless people smoking out of glass pipes in front of little kids, and then last night where I saw a group of what looked to be 15-year-old boys running around with what appeared to be a gun by the basketball courts right after all the shooting happened (they were all arrested and thought it was hilarious, I saw it go down). Then this morning while walking along the beach and seeing the prolific amount of trash everywhere and homeless people turning the beach into their living room, I almost stepped on a needle. It’s just sad, really sad that it’s gotten to the this point
Public health issue, public safety issue, pollution issue, the list goes on and on.
Rather than just complaining on Reddit, I just bought a trash picker so if you see me out on the beach, feel free to join in and help make this place a neighborhood we want to be proud of.
Anyone checkout Windward Ave between the boardwalk and the Venice sign yesterday? It was a complete vibe with so much life in the street and a glimpse into what we could have if we close that portion to traffic. It has so much potential to be a great pedestrian plaza. Of course LAPD was circling around trying to get pedestrians off the street the whole time for cars to roll through. We need to start prioritizing people over cars.
I guess all that money Chevron spent on her reelection campaign paid off. Somehow she always finds a way to be absent for things that she doesn’t want to be on the record voting for. It was the same with the sanctuary city ordinance.
As a dog owner and lover, I feel super strange about posting this.
That being said the dogs on the beach has gotten out of control in Venice.
Six months ago, I had my kid and surfboard attacked by a dog on the beach. The owner just simply grabbed their dog and left. No apologies nothing.
Today I had a dog pee on my umbrella set up when I confronted the owner. He was super disrespectful, and again no apologies.
I feel like a Karen for saying this, but I think something needs to be done.
As much as I love to bring my dog to the beach, I personally think the city should enforce the no dogs on the beach rule. Entitled people without of control dogs unfortunately ruined this.
What does the community think? I’m thinking about calling the city and asking for more enforcement.
This dog was running around Venice with a collar and leash attached. She is very sweet. Does anyone know who she belongs to?
