On Crenshaw Boulevard, between Pico Boulevard and Venice Boulevard.
Patricia Crenshaw has owned and operated her late father’s cattle operation in Slick, Oklahoma for the past 18 years. Pat’s father purchased the land back in 1945, using a former Farmers Home Administration loan that extended credit to individual farmers, low-income families, and seniors in rural areas for agriculture and rural development. Pat’s father was steadfast in acquiring funding during a time when it was uncommon for African Americans to receive loans. For Pat, this land is special.
The Little Deep Fork Creek splits Pat’s property in half. To help with water management, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service installed 56 flood control structures above her property. These structures protect Pat’s property and allow her to manage her cattle operation more effectively than in years past.
As a child, Pat remembers how their land would often flood. Her family would lose cattle in the creek. Now, with so many USDA resources available, Pat leverages technical advice and financial programs - including the Conservation Stewardship Program and Environmental Quality Incentives Program - to bring her vision for the farm to life.

The Cal-Trans digital sign flashed all week on Crenshaw Blvd.
STREET RACING AND STREET TAKE OVER ARE ILLEGAL
DON'T DO IT!!!!
Come Sunday the sign disappears..... well I guess they didn't mean it.
The Crenshaw Corridor bridge over Imperial Highway reduces the headroom to 14 feet 8 inches. The I-105 structure above was much less restrictive.
Imperial Highway is a major east-west route running from near the east end of Orange County all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
I-105 never leaves Los Angeles County, ending at I-605, usually with massive congestion.
I saw the accident but my camera wasn't in position to get the spill. A distracted driver moved into the bikers lane the biker over corrected and applied too much brake and he and his bike went down and slid into the raised median strip. Got a bad case of road rash he really needed to go to the hospital but after fellow bikers helped him up he road around the corner to chill and get his head straight.
That old school tough guy I'm okay I'll just walk it off aint a good idea. I know he was in pain I saw him rub his stomach, I hope he finally got the help he needed..... yes the person in the car kept on driving I don't think they were even aware what was going on behind them.
