North Street is likely part of the bad parts of MKE and MLK Blvd is a designated no go at
night zone everywhere.
North Avenue, up towards the Lake was fairly nice when I lived a few blocks away in the Seventies. Not sure what street they renamed MLK. Gotta look at a map,,,,,,,
They tried to re-name University Avenue when all the changes were being made. Larger community as well as the University complained...loudly.
This is the current DO NOT TRAVEL AT NIGHT area in town.
You are so correct!
