Friday Night 7pm: Venice Cityhood Meeting

Please join in working for The Solution to many of Venice's problems.

Why Cityhood?
Decisions made at the local level (Venice)
L.A. wants to gut its zoning code, say L.A. Neighbors United – www.laneighbors.org
L.A. dictates rent increases in spite of zero inflation (cpi) 

Venice libraries, parks, beach, streets and social services suffer with no end in sight due to L.A.’s budget crisis.

Venice Cityhood Meeting 533 Rialto Avenue 310-399-8685 • cityofvenice@freevenice.org

Just Added: Happy Hour Friday, DJ Sunday at Beechwood!

Did you know Beechwood has a new chef? Executive Chef Chef Jamie Lauren has created a NEW dinner menu - with  entrees like the Sonoma Duck Confit Tacos and Devil's Gulch Pork Confit - to name a few. And that last one has a cool name!
