	Los Angeles may rename 'South Central' - Salon.com
		South Central Los Angeles is on the verge of fading into history.
		South Central never was a historical name but rather a label applied to a steadily broadening region of fl communities, said David Crippens, interim executive director of the California African American Museum in Los Angeles.
		South Central's reputation for violence grew from the 1965 and 1992 riots, and it was bolstered by drug dealing and periodic outbreaks of gang violence.

	South Central Los Angeles - Definition, explanation
		South Central Los Angeles (often called simply South Central) is a large geographic and cultural area lying to the south and southwest of downtown Los Angeles, California.
		Until the rise of the Wilshire Boulevard corridor refocused Los Angeles' development to the west of downtown in the 1920s, West Adams was one of the most desirable areas of the city.
		By the time of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which began in South Central and spread throughout the city, "South Central" had become a byword for urban decay, its bad reputation spread by movies such as South Central, Friday, and South Central native John Singleton's Boyz N the Hood.

	Alcohol Fuels Violence
		Residents of South Central Los Angeles have long argued that the concentration of alcohol outlets in their neighborhood serves as a magnet for crime that seriously disrupts the community.
		South Central Los Angeles is home to 10 percent - 728 - of Los Angeles County's 7,200 stores selling alcohol, even though South Central houses only 7 percent of L.A.'s population and 3 percent of its area.
