Councilman Harris-Dawson will officially file a motion this Friday to have the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd. and West Slauson named “Ermias ‘Nipsey Hussle’ Asghedom Square

The intersection is adjacent to where Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Store was opened. Nipsey recently bought the plaza that housed in flagship Marathon Store and announced plans to demolish it and rebuild it as a residential building with a commercial plaza at the bottom.

This week, I will officially submit a motion to name the intersection of #Crenshaw and #Slauson as “Nipsey Hussle Square”. #NipseyHussle
