As a friend of mine from Wisconsin would say "only in LA".



Venice was not a place to go when I was growing up. There were many 1920s canal houses available for 5-10,000. Today they are 2-8 million. Again I have 20/20 hindsight as to where I should have invested.

It appears the guy driving the car is craning his neck out the window to watch her, not the flooded road ahead.

For a 1958 view of Venice, the movie Touch of Evil, the opening scene is filmed at Venice Beach. Notice the oil derricks in the background. Great movie
