The Boardwalk can get a bit sketchy around twilight. Sounds like they are just trying to keep out the gang bangers and I can’t say that I blame them.

Otherwise, why stop there? I should get out my can of spray paint and add: No Ugg boots No layered (short sleeve over long sleeve) t-shirts No 70's "Soul Train" urban funk caps No shoulder bag Chihuahua pet carriers No 80's skinny jeans No Crocs etc. I can’t imagine the sign is meant to be serious.

The whole place has that spray-painty look. That place is a mini-chain based in LA and I don’t think the dress code is Venice specific. The whole place has that spray-painty look.

Though, I doubt the people they are trying to keep away would bother coming in to make a purchase. In the late eighties/early nineties I used to ride with a bunch of bikers and we'd always end up at Coffee & Sympathy in Venice to drink, hang out and talk about bikes. After being caught in the crossfire of a Blood's-Crip's shootout the rule of the day became "be outta Venice before 4:30." because thats when the homies rolled on up. You could tell it was time to go when 5-6 police cruisers showed up every Sunday afternoon and took up preliminary positions. Dude, it was some scary shit taking cover at the beach and being cut off from your bike and a way out. As stupid as this looks I completely understand what they are trying to do.
