LAPD continues to bust my flow soul deep. It is currently illegal to sell or use dance hoops on the Venice Boardwalk. Yes, ridiculous but true, the current L.A.M.C. Ordinance 42.15 governing what can and can't represent on the west side of the walk states that everything must be of nominal utility. Nothing useful. Fine Art (paintings, sculpture and photography) Only. A brief stroll there now shows that this rule is not for everyone.
