If you’re a fan of drone videos shot at the USC Village construction site, enjoy them while you can: The project is nearly finished, and soon there won’t be any construction to photograph. The Target store has its grand opening Sunday, and the first of 2,700 student residents move in Aug. 14. The $700 million retail-residential development is the largest in the history of South Los Angeles.
