Feel like sharing your thoughts on Venice Beach?  Join in!  That is what this blog was made for! The more the merrier!

It is as simple as writing about an event, business or just a commentary about Venice. If you have a camera and can email a picture or pictures with your story, all the better!

Here are the basic principles that Yo! Venice was founded on:

1. Don’t be mean just for meanness sake. We are here to celebrate the community. If dinner someplace sucked, go there two more times before you take the time to write that it sucks. A lot of people read this blog and it isn’t fair to slam businesses based on a one time experience. Everyone and everyplace has their off days. More often than not, when we experience some horrible meal or bad service, we just don’t go back and don’t blog it here.  All of that noted, fair and just warnings about businesses in Venice can be acceptable … just not personal vendettas.

2. Don’t make posts about yourself, your own business or your good friend’s business without explaining your relationship in the post.  We will probably be able to see right through that ruse. And besides, it’s nice to hear about a business from the owner - it helps people feel connected to their neighborhood.

3. That is about it. Fair and just, trying not to criticize just to be a critic.
