The retired space shuttle Endeavour on Sunday entered the home stretch of its journey through the streets of Los Angeles to its retirement at a museum. 

By 7:30 a.m. PT, the orbiter was still making its slow crawl toward Exposition Park, steered cautiously down Martin Luther King Blvd. as crowds gathered along both sidewalks. It was expected to reach final destination at the California Science Center later Sunday morning.
