To create this particular CicLAvia neighborhood guide we had some very special help. We COMING SOON ON OCTOBER 18, 2015 partnered with 826LA to run a workshop at CicLAvia—Heart of LA their Mar Vista location that brought together local kids and volunteers from 826LA and CicLAvia so that we could hear firsthand about institutions and places that matter most to the young people who live here. This workshop was a fantastic (and fun) opportunity to help these young writers hone their literary skills while at the same time learning from them and sharing our stories. We are proud to publish some of these students’ creative work here and grateful to the students, their parents and 826LA for this great opportunity. Thank you for your contribu- tions—they are an invaluable part of this project. As usual, we also had the help of several local historians who volunteered their expertise to help us maintain accuracy and deepen our appreciation for the dynamic past of the area. We were lucky to have the input of Culver City’s City Historian Julie Lugo Cerra, who traveled our route several times, pointing out significant sites of interest along the way. Her work on the official Culver City website is a treasure trove of local history. Jonathan Kaplan, of Vintage Venice Tours, practically took us backwards in a time machine on his fantastic walking tour of Venice, and his feedback has been crucial. If you CicLAvia transforms LA’s streets into a safe, fun, are interested in exploring Venice, from “reel to car-free space for walking, bicycling, skating, real,” spend time with him. jogging and seeing the city in a whole new way.

In fact, it was on the banks of Ballona Creek that Harry Culver found Thomas Ince filming a western and convinced the silent-era filmmaker to move his studio to Culver’s new development. Culver, who had worked for real estate devel- oper Isaac N. Van Nuys (founder of Van Nuys), pinpointed a spot that was served by three rail lines and situated perfectly between down- town Los Angeles and Abbot Kinney’s resort of Venice to build his own dream city. With his Culver Investment Company, he transformed barley fields located on what had once been Rancho La Ballona and Rincon de los Bueyes into “the Heart of Screenland.” He convinced Ince to move his production studios to his new city; Ince would eventually build two different studios in the area, both of which went on to house major players during Hollywood’s Golden Era. Pioneering producer Hal Roach built a third major motion picture “plant” as well, which operated from 1919 until 1963. 7 While film studios formed the city’s early economic base, other industries developed NATIONAL Culver City 10 3 soon after, including Helms Bakery in the 1930s 2 4 and aerospace operations in Hayden Industrial DOWNTOWN NATIONAL Tract during the 1940s (an area that is now an CULVER CITY HUB HUGHES architectural wonderland).

Maintained by the county of Los Angeles and the cities of LA and Culver City, it runs alongside the channelized Ballona Creek from here to Marina del Rey, where you can travel to both the Ballona Lagoon and the Venice canals. It also links up to the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, which travels through Santa Monica and the Palisades or down to Redondo. 2 Helms Bakery 8800 Venice Blvd. The historic 1931 Art Deco building that was once the family-owned and operated Helms Bakery is now the centerpiece of a busy retail and restaurant dis- trict. Located just a block east from the eastern end of today’s route, the Helms Bakery operated from 1931 to 1969 and was an important industrial bakery in LA. Opened during the Depression, the bakery supplied many jobs; instead of being sold in stores, fresh-baked bread was delivered “Daily at Your Door” (as the slogan went) across the Southland. Helms Bakery also supplied food for the nearby Olympic Village during the 1932 summer games. 10 11 3 Frank Sebastian’s Cotton Club (site of) 6500 W. Washington Blvd. What today is part of the culinary store Surfas was once the site of a famous nightclub where both Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton played. Opened in 1926 by entertainment entrepreneur Frank Sebastian, who ran Sebastian’s Café in Venice as well as several other establishments, the club featured valet parking, full orchestras and three dance floors. It had no relation to the New York club of the same name. The building that housed it burned in the 1950s. 3.

Washington Blvd. This elevated light-rail station services Metro’s Exposition Line and connects the Westside by rail to Downtown LA, Pasadena, San Fernando Valley, South Bay and Long Beach. Opened in 2012, it’s the most western station currently in operation, although that will soon change when “Phase 2” of the line’s expansion is finished, which will connect this station all the way to Santa Monica. The site of this station has long served rail lines; in the early 1900s it was a junction point for the Venice Short Line until the closure of the Venice line in 1950. 4.

Washington Blvd. From 1919 until 1963, this site was a film studio that was nicknamed the “Laugh Factory to the World” for the number of great comedies made here. Founded by producer Hal Roach, eventually the studio comprised 55 buildings on nearly 15 acres of land and produced some 50 comedies a year, most memorable among them starring Our Gang, Harold Lloyd and Laurel & Hardy.
