The Venice Beach Canalsdate back to 1905 after developer Abbot Kinney visited Venice, Italy. Venice Beach was originally named Venice of America

Yesterday afternoon was time for a much-needed haircut. A beautiful day here in Southern California, so I decided to reduce my carbon footprint and bike it there. On my way I passed the Venice Canals. Venice Beach is known for many things including being the mural capital of the world, street performers, strange street names like Ozone, culture, musicians, shops, fortune tellers, surfers, basketball, skateboarders, muscle beach (Gold’s Gym, Arnold Schwarzenegger), gangs, homeless and the Canals.

After my haircut, I came upon the actual Venice Beach Clownthat performs on the boardwalk biking to work.

I tried getting a closer shot, but he thought (correctly) that I was following him and sped up.
