The neighborhood

Venice

Venice is LA's bohemian beachfront -- skaters, muralists, yoga studios, and tech companies co-exist along the boardwalk and Abbot Kinney Blvd. It's gentrified rapidly while trying to preserve its counterculture roots, and the canals offer a surprisingly quiet escape from the buzz.
