| Robin’s Sculpture Garden |
Walking just past Venice Blvd., see the newest and hottest salon, The Harlot, (see the previous post for more info on this salon)… you might want to stop at nearby Lemonade first for a unique flavor of lemonade or healthy eats… across the street you will find an outdoor sculpture garden called Robin’s Sculpture Garden for large scale sculpture and a great scene there too. Last time there were cool aerial performers in the outdoor space.
Come back, we will be adding more to our 1st Fridays listings!
