Davis
No not that kind of gas, at least not from that source. Whew. We are talking about Abbot Kinney Blvd. In what may spell doom or perhaps boom for major new developments, the City is requiring mitigation for what it terms “Explosion/Release (Methane Gas).” Posted at 07:29 PM Read More Is Venice becoming a Banana Republic?No, not a clothing store. But one of those
third-world countries where the rules for elections are played fast and loose by
those in power – like Florida.

Beck
Even as the tenant union's attorney went to court on Monday AM, June 23, early-bright, for historic preservation of these Lincoln Place buildings, the crew (who had apparently crept in the day and night before), managed to knock down all the buildings which were the subject of the court appearance before Judge Yaffe that morning downtown.

(1973)
Ain’t got a nickel or a dime Ain’t got a watch to tell the time Ain’t got no job Ain’t got a prospect in sight But I’m not feeling low I’ve got no place to go But there’s a Moon Over Venice tonight Posted at 06:16 PM Read More On the 200th Anniversary of the Founding of VeniceThe following manuscript was given to
me by a rather odd-looking person I met at Abbot’s Habit recently. He
claimed to be a time traveler from the future, who wished to remain anonymous. I
don’t know whether his account of these events 102 years in the future is
accurate or not. But, he was honest enough to admit the Beachhead Collective had
rejected his article when he submitted it in 2110. – Jim
