These Streets Are Actually Buried Canals

Beneath the asphalt of Venice Beach lies a buried city. 🛶➡️🚗 In 1905, these streets were actually water—miles of canals built for Abbot Kinney’s "Venice of America." But by 1929, the car took over, and the city paved over the Grand Lagoon and major waterways to create the streets you drive on today. If you look closely at the map, the long, gentle curves of Grand Blvd and Windward Circle are the ghost outlines of that lost world. 👇 WATCH THE FULL STORY 👇 Click the "Created from" or "Related Video" link on screen to see "Why Los Angeles Destroyed Venice Beach" and explore the underground ruins yourself. #venicebeach #hiddenhistory #losangeles #urbanplanning #californiahistory #shorts #voyager
