The 110 Freeway is hands down one of my favorite freeways in Los Angeles. It's a relatively straight and easy ride, and it makes getting to USC, Downtown LA, or practically anywhere in a breeze.

But it’s also hard to believe that building this freeway sparked a series of protests in a South LA that was very different from the one we know today.

Today we’re going to take a look at the development of the 110 Freeway, starting with the Arroyo Seco Parkway, and its 22-mile-long expansion through South Los Angeles.
