I used to hang out, skate and surf in Venice and Santa Monica during the Dogtown years. They were both great places. Not so much anymore. Very dirty with a huge homeless population. Place smells like urine everywhere with the occasional hypodermic needle to be found. It's pretty sad. Its a huge problem and yet our legislature is more concerned about giving out straws at restaurants. I try to stay west of PCH and south of LAX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that.... Many years ago I did some volunteer work with the LA Catholic Worker at their soup kitchen located ( if I remember well) at the corner of Gladys & 6th ( skid row)...Interesting experience.. At night we 'd go sleep at the LACW headquarters located at the beginning of East LA in N.Britannia St off Brooklyn Ave. ( not too far from Hollenbeck park) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
