"Today, they were filming the spinoff of Rocky, Creed 3 with Michael B Jordan as the main character and director. They were filming the exercise scenes on Muscle Beach and directly on the beach. A hard workout. Jonathan Majors plays Michael B Jordan’s opponent in Creed 3. I also met the Oscar winner and two time Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson on the beach, it was an awesome day."

Awful crash on Southbound PCH just south of Sunset Thursday night just after 10PM. One car went over the side, smashing into the rocks and down into thetide. The two people in the other car fled the scene on foot. LAPD searched for those people and found two people hiding in the bushes about a half mile south. At least one person from the car that went into the ocean was rushed to the hospital.

Venice Beach, CA update 3/1/22 by Cop Watch Venice

"The beach is looking as bad as ever as LAPD has been chasing most people inland in the middle of the night. The older encampments, including the Venice library park are getting fuller because of it, and nothing is being done to help anyone, just the same waste and move along tactics. After decades of failure with the exact same treatment and the Supreme court rulings against it, you'd think they'd try something different, but the residents keep supporting this lunacy, leaving everyone in misery and destroying our community."

"Founder of Venice Oceanarium, Tim Rudnick, at the Venice Pier on Sunday, February 27, 2022. The Venice Oceanarium is a Museum Without Walls. Their programs combine science with the arts to encourage kids (of all ages) to appreciate the environment and, therefore, become stewards of our oceans. The Venice Oceanarium believes that this integrative curriculum of poetry, literature, music, drawing, and performance arts teaches by experiencing the world around us on a more profound level than books and classrooms alone can provide. The events and activities are designed to raise awareness of the natural wonders of Venice Beach. Join them on their learning expedition!"
