Title: What's the latest on Venice Beach/Gold's?
Post by: Never1AShow on October 11, 2021, 05:30:24 AM
Is it still a homeless encampment along the boardwalk?  Last I heard that's where we were at but the Sheriff was going to clean it up?

Is Gold's Venice open and functioning?

Tase that motherf*****.

Using the 'I'm a vet" excuse.  Bullsh*t.

Plenty of vets don't act like assh*les.

Tase him, cuff him, and put him in the paddy wagon.

Bumstead needs to take the initiative.

Street behind Golds is the worst ever. Patrons of Golds won't even park there anymore. It's become a full on drug dealing/homeless capital. Cars driving by all night with shady drug dealers walking up to the cars and doing transactions right out in the open. Bum fist fights constantly about drug deals and "you stole my shit" fights. There is an enormous Public Storage behind Gold's that takes up many blocks, so no residents live there, hence it's the most popular homeless encampment in Venice. Few resident complaints of noise. Tents on every square inch of sidewalk. They have just let the streets around Gold's become the wild west of drug and alcohol fueled homelessness. Also, all the homeless services are right around there like the Venice Family Clinic on Rose, tons of meal services, etc. And shithole motels all over the area like the Lincoln Inn or Marina 7 that openly rent to addicts that together come up with the rent for one night to have an all night drug party in one of the rooms. If any of you understand the difference between a struggling homeless person and a bum, these are BUMS around Golds and Venice Beach. Ironically, Gold's itself is pretty nice, especially the new outdoor workout areas. They better hope it's not a rainy winter though.

What's the latest on Gold's Venice?  Back open as normal?  Going to be soon?  Still training in the parking lot?

I want to say it was probably an over site. I was told if I wanted to cancel to send an email. My contract says there’s a 30 day notice to cancel so they technically owe me for a month. But I can only imagine the amount of emails they get each day. That being said I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt

Paul Sullivan, this was him a few years ago - https://www.instagram.com/p/BA-HruEsjxc/?hl=en .

Someone mentioned a year or so ago that he was still around the Venice area, and wasn't taking the California lockdown well.

Saw him in Vegas a few years back, thought he was out there.  He didn't start the homeless problem, aspiring bodybuilders were sleeping in their cars in the Gold's parking lot since at least 89-90.

I talk to Paul almost every day. Been dealing with a serious kidney infection but is on the mend. Dude is still at Golds and loves his politics. He’s straight MAGA
