**Get some exercise and culture before Turkey Day.** This walk of approximately 1.5 miles takes in a neighborhood of Mediterranean Revival style homes built in the late 1920s by The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (BLE) and is a companion to the downtown Venice walk of commerical buildings. Notable people who contributed to the early devlopment of Venice include Bertha Palmer and her family, Dr. Fred Albee, John Nolen and Prentiss French. I'll give a short history of Venice before the walk.

The tour will include two parks, 24 homes and a visit to The Venice Museum (Venicemuseum.org) after the walk.

**NEW WINTER RULE**: If you sign up for this event, then drop out, you must do so 36 hours before the event or it'll be counted as a No Show.

**PARKING**: You can park on the street around the park or there is a parking lot east of the park, near the Gazebo.
