Hawthorne Boulevard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hawthorne Boulevard, once known as "Hawthorne Avenue", is the name of a major Southern California thoroughfare also signed as California State Route 107 (and as Los Angeles County Route N7 through the Palos Verdes Peninsula).

It extends from the Palos Verdes Peninsula northward through Torrance, Lawndale, Lennox, and Inglewood, a distance of more than twenty miles. Hawthorne Boulevard ends at Century Boulevard where it continues north to Hollywood as La Brea Avenue.

Hawthorne Bouleward is very distinctive through Lawndale and part of Hawthorne because it is very wide with business parking in the center between the north and southbound lanes.

Landmarks along Hawthorne Bouleward include Point Vicente Park, Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, South Coast Park Del Amo Fashion Center, South Bay Galleria, Hawthorne Plaza, and the Hawthorne Station for the LACMTA Green Line.
