You must be this tall to hear this extensive history of Venice of America. Join us as we take a gondola ride through the canals, join one of LA's oldest gangs and watch the rivalry of the Venice and Ocean Park piers as their built up and burned down and built up and then burned down again. And again. And again. We cover Abbott Kinney himself (3:05), the amusements (20:08), the canals (58:25), the oil days (1:06:08), the history of Oakwood (1:11:34) and the tragedies (1:17:19).
