Triangle Update is now on the web in addition to being distributed via email. It has been on the web since January, but only a few knew-less than 20. Address is TriangleUpdate.com. You will find this year’s emails all archived there but only this year’s.

Sometimes emails don’t get put on the web until a couple days after email distribution. But they do get there and both versions will continue to be published for some time.

But a name change should occur.

Need New Name
More area is covered now than when Update first started, and frankly, no one knows what a “Triangle” is. So submit your ideas. Some ideas have been Venice Update, Venice News, Venice Voice, Venice One, Venice Scene, Boogie Report, Boogie Board, The Boogie.

Update is a news blog written to inform, to titillate, and more blah-blah regarding certain things in Venice. Occasionally, there is a personal opinion, but it is stated as such. Update’s purpose, once again, is to be a news source. As a news source, it strives, really strives, to be an accurate, unbiased news service, one willing to present both sides. Update has a Comment section that loves personal opinion and was created specifically for steam removal.

Makes No Money
And the answer is “no.” Update makes no money. It has no income. Update is not a 501- whatever that qualifies for grants, tax-free donations, and other government subsidies. It has never taken a donation, accepted a grant or a subsidy. Never asked for one and is not asking now. There just is no hidden agenda here. Maybe someday Update will sell advertising.

Right now, Update is all done by one crazy person, getting crazier by the day.

And yah, since you asked …It would like to see Venice drug free, clean-no litter or graffiti, no crime, all homeless housed, with parks fun and for families and all businesses abiding by their conditions of approval with adequate parking. Update will always work toward this goal. Then residents could quibble over calling it Utopian Venice or Venice the Utopia.

Volunteers are welcome; please email the Update. One person can’t cover everything.

If you are on the email list and have not gotten an Update lately, check your spam or check Google’s “promotion” heading. For those who are on the list and haven’t opened the Update in the last three months, your contact info will be removed from the list. If you want to be added, just send your email address to email at end of Update.
