Crenshaw is a commercial street, it is not a community. Not only that, but how do you describe an area as large as the one drawn by it's Eastern-most boundary? There are several clearly-defined, historic communities within the Crenshaw Map's borders. Call it West Adams/Baldwin Hills if it must be kept as one lump. But to describe it as Crenshaw diminishes its regional identity. I've drawn the Baldwin Hills as I describe them to the people who can't fathom where I live: "The 3 lumps in the center of the city if you look South of the 10. Culver City is the Western one, the park is in the center, and the last one is where everybody lives, including South of Stocker." My map is the Los Angeles section of Baldwin Hills, which includes the Park, Baldwin Vista, Baldwin Park, Rancho Cienega Park, the new Expo Line & Baldwin Hills Estates.
