Description
ANSWER: This is the Grand Canal of Venice--Venice, Cal. Photograph of this section of the beach city's long-abandoned--and now revived--idea to emulate Venice, Italy, with a system of canals, was made looking south of the N Venice Blvd. bridge over the Grand Canal.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.186 -- Just because these artists are painting on the Grand Canal, don't get the idea they are in Italy. It's a canal all right, and others are nearby. Answer on Page 28, Part ll.
