Has Venice Beach really become the "West Side Skid-Row?" Join me on a guided walking tour of the Venice Beach Boardwalk to see what it's like after the pandemic! We begin at the intersection of Venice Blvd and Ocean Front Walk, and conclude at Barnard Way where Venice Beach borders with Santa Monica.

@NothingMaster 3 года назад

I might not be hip enough, Chris, but I’ve never really enjoyed the looks, the smells, and the overall vibes of Venice Beach. Curiously enough, I found it slightly more palatable in your video; possibly because it looks less crowded. Not to mention, you have the incredible ability to make anything sound great, my friend. 😀 That said, I can see how Venice Beach might come across as a specially colorful spot to the tourists, and the ‘select local crowds’. lol

@YellowProductions 3 года назад

Hah! Yes.. I'm not really hip enough for Venice Beach either. When you see my Abbott Kinney Blvd video.. now thats a really hip street

@beachfront304 Год назад

It's sadly interesting how it's changed since I've been there. I wish you'd continued the transition to Santa Monica. Will you do an sunny day update for the Venice Boardwalk soon? It must look better by now.

@crosslink1493 Год назад

I was there in 2018 and 2019 both in the fall after the summer season had ended. 2018 it was with some out-of-town relatives and they were shocked at the homeless situation, the filth, drug dealing, and the feeling you might get mugged in the middle of the day, plus most of the businesses were tourist traps selling cheap souvenirs. Yep, it gave you the feel of a "West Side Skid Row." 2019 was by myself on a SFO-LA bicycle trip and it was similar. I would hope during COVID the place got cleaned up so the homeless and drug dealers are gone and maybe a new mix of businesses moved in (I can't imagine a lot of the old ones survived the COVID shut-downs with no tourists). I need to make a trip up there early spring 2023 to see what its like 'post-COVID' before the summer tourist season starts.

It's been a while since I've been to Venice and the Santa Monica Pier (I live in Valley). I'm traveling less because of the pandemic, but maybe it's time for me to get out of the house more. The homeless encampments are exploding, and it's now all over the city, even in parts you wouldn't expect it, like Brentwood.

When I visit Venice for the first time mid October 2020, I was not impressed at all. It was a horrible experience and the smell was so bad (not because MJ) it was so bad and nothing like before when it was looking really nice in videos and photos by people I’ve seen... I was disappointed but now looking at this video, seems like city finally stepped in and made some changes. So I wonder if they enforce to remove the druggies and homeless away from Venice 🤔 Thank you for this! I’d like to visit back once is improving and better. 😁

@KR-sh6rm 3 года назад

Still kind of trashy and dirty, but significantly better than just a few weeks ago when there were still hundreds of homeless encampments right on the boardwalk and on the beach sand. Looks like about 90% of them are now gone. Still a lot of work to do though to completely clean it up. Your thumbnail is in front of Mike's aka German in Venice henna tattoo shop. He's a cool guy with a cool RU-vid channel too.

@colleensaro5945 3 года назад

Rip Cronk was the artist on the ladder up-dating his Ode to Starry Night. He has many walls in Venice with his art work. LAPD was informed by the city and CDC not to touch the encampments - so until this is lifted they will be here. Encampments have increased by 75% since last March 2020. There are to be NO ELECTRIC SCOOTERS ON THE BIKE PATH OR BOARDWALK. Those shops do not enforce this when renting, so please don't advertise them for Venice, we, the locals do not support them.
