EspañolSLAUSON AVENUE
'Slauson Avenue' is a major east-west thoroughfare for southern Los Angeles County. It passes through Culver City, Ladera Heights, View Park-Windsor Hills, Baldwin Hills, Inglewood, South Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Maywood, Pico Rivera, Whittier, and Santa Fe Springs. It starts off Jefferson Boulevard near the Fox Hills Mall in Culver City and ends at Santa Fe Springs Road, where it becomes Mulberry Drive. Slauson runs nearly identical to the south of Washington Boulevard, but begins further east.
The LACMTA Blue Line Slauson Station stops at Slauson, elevated above ground.
Due to the neighborhoods it passes, Slauson is considered synonymous with South Central and African-American culture.
Slauson is also famous for former Bethlehem Steel mill located on the 3300 block. At one time Slauson Avenue was a center for urban heavy industry in Los Angeles.
