    I got a story from Iowa. Late 1940s and early 50s. My mom left a little town outside of des Moines and took I bus to Venice California . She got a job at Douglas aircraft where Marilyn worked before she was really a star. In the daytime she weight trained on the beach , and swan. At 3p.m.went to work. She meet a body builder on the beach who was actually from des Moines. They got married and opened up the very first health club in Iowa. To this day I weight train. Love me it.

    I grew up a couple miles up the beach from Venice, across the marina jetty in Playa del Rey in the 60s-70s. It was a calmer more quiet beach. As I became a teen, wanting to get our own pad, we all headed to Venice to live because believe it or not, it was cheaper! Plus it was waaay more exciting stuff going down at Venice beach! I left LA years ago but I do love watching what's going down there now! Thank you
