Urban Safari - Venice Beach - In Xanadu did Kubla Khan...wear leg warmers and roller skates

35 years ago, I, your #UrbanSafari host, was a curious, young, impressionable 12yo. I know. Hard to imagine. Back then during the wee hours of the afternoon I discovered a documentary on HBO titled "Xanadu". In this locational time capsule of a film a beautiful mural came to life. That mural was in Venice Beach. That mural WAS Venice Beach!

Today in my travels I had hoped to find the mural. Sadly, the elegant depiction of the muses has not stood the test of time. Poor ladies.
