Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.
"Every Thursday and Friday the Venice beach clean up crew come with the Rangers to clean up all of the Venice restrooms, homeless people try to occupy the restrooms and lock themselves from the inside. They also walk around and try to clean up any encampment on the beach."

A fight broke out between 3 homeless men on Friday afternoon near 8 Brooks Ave in Venice.
"I just witnessed the worst bum fight I’ve ever seen on venice beach. My stomach is in knots." stated a tourist who witnessed the fight.
"The one bum got jumped by 2 other bums. One of the dudes had what looked like a bike frame cut in half and was using it to beat the guy w it. And his mate was sucker punching him. This happened around families and children. So gross.
I biked to the fire fighters and told them they needed to help this guy out as he had gotten away but was bloody and screaming. They told me they were first responders and I needed to go get the cops whose cars were parked next to the fire fighters. Cops were no where to be found."

Latest forecast on Hurricane Hilary from Mark Sponsler (Stormsurf):
Hurricane Hilary 'Needle Threading' Update - At 11AM Fri (8/18) Hilary continued north-northwest at 15 kts with winds 115 kts (132 mph) producing seas to 49 ft (estimated). All meaningful fetch and seas were now moving into the SCal swell window and were east of the center see purple curved line). The swell window is narrow pushing into Southern California, at only 38 nmiles wide (red line) on the 160 degree track into San Diego (orange line) and 83 nmiles up into Long Beach/Malibu (green line) at its widest. That means there's a little more fetch east of the eye pushing up to Long Beach versus further south. The storm is peaking and is to hold strength thru 11 pm this evening, then fading some on Sat (8/19) while moving north-northwest with the swell window closed shortly thereafter (see black lines). Landfall point has shifted north a little to about 10 miles north of Ensenada at minimal hurricane strength at 65 kts (75 moh) and then over west San Diego at about 6 pm Sunday (8/20). Expect copius rainfall over Southern California.
