Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"There’s always something going on in Venice Beach. Famous actors and comedians Cheech and Chong came to Venice Beach with their Lowrider and passed out free drinks for the Venice locals. I also visit a Memorial for local Venice beach resident Spanto, he was the founder of the company, Born x Raised ."
