Imperial Highway: Signs of Inglewood

Continuing down Imperial Highway, I came to Inglewood.
Not quite as nice as El Segundo.
Not quite as scary as Watts.

I just liked the place because they had sheet metal tacos at Baja Rosarito.

It's like the Olympic icon for chainsaw sports.

Above mural found at:

A unix sex model for a unix sex hair salon.

For those looking for a salon that can provide them with Caché.

Young Black & Brilliant (& Modest?), it's a movement baby.

Check out their mySpace page.

Not to be confused with a Canadian student's blog that uses that same name.

YB the Maker seems to be the driving force behind this group. Here's a picture of him from his mySpace page performing at his sister's 16th birthday party. Everyone's got to get started somewhere.

Mural from Los Angeles Southwest College (go Cougars!)

Typical LA public art. Stylized figures with beams of radiance and someone is holding the Earth. This imagery appears again and again and again.

Los Angeles Southwest College was established in 1967, two years after the Watts riots, as a response to the complaint that not enough was being done to educate the community (according to Wikipedia).

I saw this flyer for Arron "The Energizer" Robinson's boxing match at LA Southwest College and all up and down Imperial Highway. While I think two guys punching each other in the face is stupid in principle, I have to admit that going to a local boxing match in Inglewood sounds cool.

For all the flyers on the street, the only thing I could find online about this event was on the LASC website's calender.
