Los Angeles County Lifeguards had the privilege of being recognized by Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath for the tremendous commitment, courage, and teamwork demonstrated by our personnel during an exceptionally busy stretch from July 24–28.
During that time, Los Angeles County Lifeguards performed nearly 2,000 ocean rescues along the Los Angeles County coastline, demonstrating the skill, professionalism, and dedication required when our beaches and ocean conditions are at their busiest.

Trash everywhere. Two days after the end of the controversial "FiFA World Cup Fan Zone" at Venice Beach the area is still littered with garbage.
The grass has been destroyed, trash is still everyone on the ground. The organizers have left abandoned the site, the city workers are left cleaning up their mess, with locals steppong in to help out.
Huge sections of the grass is now dirt, because the booths and installations left over the 5 days have killed the grass.

Josh “Bagel” Klassman is a photographer and longtime Venice Beach local who has spent decades documenting the people, places, and subcultures that helped define one of California’s most legendary neighborhoods.
In this video, Bagel talks about growing up around Venice Beach, photographing the local skate, surf, graffiti, and punk scenes, and witnessing the changes that transformed Venice from a rough-and-tumble beach town into an international destination. The conversation covers the Pavilion, the Pits, the breakwater, the boardwalk, local characters, street photography, punk rock, surfing, skateboarding, and the importance of documenting places before they disappear.
