Venice is a weird place. If you haven't been here, it's kind of shocking. You get used to the bumbs shitting all over the sidewalk, junkies wigging out, dead people laying around, bumbs fucking on the street, bumbs having a party on 3rd street, did I mention bumbs?
It's gross, but has some interesting character to it, if you can put it that way. I train at Gold's Venice for the convenience, it's still got decent equipment, I just get in and get the fuck out as soon as I can. Way too many weirdos doing weird shit in there. Stay away from the up stairs bathrooms unless you want a trib session or see some old dude hanging out with his saggy balls.
