I wonder if this particular MLK Jr. Drive is anything like the one that we have here in St. Paul.

You don’t go there unarmed, day or night.

The irony of using MLK as a street name, is that it tells visitors exactly where to avoid driving.

Here in Cleveland, because some of the great hospitals are at the inner end of our MLK Drive, anyone going down that road, particularly women, are told to keep all purses off the seats or in view of anyone outside of the car. They're also told to keep a distance in front of and behind their cars at traffic stops so they can take off if someone tries to box them in.

We've come a long way in race relations!
