Things in Venice, California (1)

I am spending a few days in beautiful Venice, California. It's so plenty of color, flowers, scents, fresh food, and more. The front gardens of the houses on 6th st boast flowers, trees, plants full of vigor, colors, strong scents, and exuberance.As I walk along I see artichokes growing on the side! Lemon trees, dill, rosemary ... I have the impression that ANYTHING can grow here!
The Venice Farmer Market, at the intersection of Venice Blvd and Ocean Blvd, is small but offers an array of fresh fruit and vegetable, bread, seafood, dry fruit, most organic., under colorful square shades. Going to local restaurants can be a real treat! Look at this crab and shrimp salad! I ordered it with no other dressing that olive oil and salt and it was delicious.The current crisis has badly affected construction here and everywhere you see signs like this one ... people in the coffee shops gather for a morning latte and share their disappointment with the job market right now. Sad.
