Venice Beach - think of all of Los Angeles a crystal lattice of simmilar neighborhoods, where people congregate with people much like themselves. As the crystal grows and solidifies, all the dislocations and elements that don't fit in are pushed to the outside edges, like North Hollywood and Venice Beach. Now that North Holloywood is gentrified, Long Beach is moving up, and even Compton has been cleaned up, Venice Beach is the only place left. The problem with VB is that it was gentrifying 20 years ago and still hasn't gotten there. BTW I didn't know that N. Hollywood had gentrified. Do you live in LA? What's impressive to me is all the action going on in downtown LA. It looks like LA has a real downtown these days: angelenic.com
