Lost LA

These Streets are Made For Boating

The streets of Venice are a reminder of a time gone by, when Venice of America was fashioned after the canals of Venice, Italy. Complete with gondolas, the main method of transport was by boat. That changed over the years, and now several of the canals are covered in concrete. Historian Eric Dugdale walks us through the lost canals of Venice.
