Towns near Venice compared
5 get fewer, down to 109 a year. A gap like that between towns is usually elevation, a coast or a lake, which is why a painter from a few towns over can be on a different schedule. North Port is read from the same station as Venice, so its numbers match; the real difference is the distance from that station.
