"...Slauson and Crenshaw..."
Oh no! Glad you made it out in one piece...
OBG,
Wasn't that bad. It was 9am on a Monday. Everyone was sleeping. However, I really liked the gas station attendant down the road. " Your lost right? Get $5.00 gas (was 1998) and get the hell out of here. LAX is that way!"
Of course he was peering out of a window with bars larger than any jail cell I had ever seen before. I did notice the few folks around were watching me closely. Nothing like a Ford Taurus station wagon full of luggage with a Budget Rental Car bumper sticker to attract attention.
Could have been worse.
