Extra! Extra!

Dola Newsstand Opens

Alright, Al, thank you. Now, for some breaking news in Venice. Jan is on the scene.

Thanks, Tony. I’m here at the just-opened Dola on Abbot Kinney. Earlier, witnesses say they saw me enter the newsstand’s shaded courtyard filled with tables and chairs from ’50s and ’60s France. I then proceeded to leisurely peruse racks upon racks of hard-to-find magazines and papers from around the world.

This is news, Jan?

Exactly, Tony. But it’s more than just news. Authorities report it’s all the usual rags and journals, plus fashion, food, design, living, architecture, and street culture periodicals arriving from across the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

You’re telling me this is what we went live for?

Tony, this is what I live for. Now, back to you.

Dola, 1423½ Abbot Kinney Boulevard, between California and Milwood Avenues, Venice (310-664-9300).
