Abbott Kinney, a Los Angeles visionary property developer, built Venice California on marshy wetlands 1905. In 1925 the City of LA destroyed much of the canal development. But what remains is enchanting and a community of artistic people live in the homes on the banks of the canals. Nearby, Venice beach is well known but people do not always know about the interesting area of Venice with the grid of Canals with attractive houses, which is a short distance back from the beach area.
