Venice, California is unlike anywhere else in the world.
Historian Donna Lewis Friess, Ph.
, grew up on the ocean front in Venice in the midst of California's 1940's oil boom.
Her next door neighbor, a working oil pump-house complete with derrick, was a constant in her life.
Determined to bring a lost piece of Los Angeles history to life, and sequestered by the 2020 Worldwide Pandemic and following lock-down, Donna offers this vibrant story of a remarkably idiosyncratic place in America.
