I've been in the neighborhood since 1904. I'm invisible, but I see you all the time. I inspired Charlie Chaplin when he used to street-mime on the Boardwalk before he got famous. I inspired Eddie Cantor to be a world-class entertainer. I inspired Isadora Duncan to revolutionize the entire world of dance. I inspired Tony Robbins to help millions achieve their dreams. I inspired Jim Morrison, Stewart Perkoff, The Shoe-skate craze, Arnold Scharzenegger, Peter Damien...you name it. I'm the reason there is no other community on the face of the planet like Venice Beach.

Now, let me ask you something. Do you REALLY think I am going to sit back and let a bunch of get-rich-quick one-percenter-wannabees stomp me out and turn Venice into Marina Del Rey North?

Not any time in THIS millennia. The artists aren't going anywhere. The counter-culturists aren't going anywhere. The low-incomers aren't going anywhere. The cultural diversity that makes this community a beacon to the entire world...ain't going anywhere.
