 It is not necessarily named for the Crenshaw district (to the north) as Metro Rail usually names most of their stations after the nearest major cross streets; in this case, it is named for Crenshaw Boulevard which indeed travels up to the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles.The original name for this station was Crenshaw/I-105 and it may still be used in some places.The stories on the tiled walls in the lower half were collected and organized by Buzz Spector.
