Want to know more about Abbot Kinney?

Of course you do! Abbot Kinney was the Founder of Venice! You can find out about him and so much more in this brand new website created by yours truly at Jagmedia. The website has pages from the book written by long time Venice resident, Dr. Arnold Springer, plus more information about modern day Venice or Venice Beach as tourists and some locals call it!

This fascinating history is politically charged, just as modern day Venice is with many colorful characters. It's also  well researched and makes a perfect reference for a screen story about Venice of America!
