Description
For more than a half century, Venice Pier was a fun and playground area for millions of people. In holidays, and in the hot summer months, Venice Pier was always filled with humanity. This photo shows a scene of the pier in the old days--a scene that will never occur again, as Venice Pier dies under the wheels of progress. Photo dated: February 4, 1948.
