I think it is very thoughtful of any city to name one of their streets Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
That way out-of-towners can stay safe by not going anywhere near it.

This isn't so bad. Wait until Bathhouse Barry is out of the Oval Orifice.
Every town with black folks will want "Barack Hussein Obama Boulevard".

They should name is Plagiarizer Place or Womanizer Way. That is more in keeping with the memory of the man.
Oh, and since the family copywrited the name (MLK), do they get paid a fee for each car that drives down the road?

People joke about MLK Blvd signifying where a bad neighborhood is. Or is it really a joke? I was on a business trip a few years ago, and we were driving a rental car. We got lost and found ourselves on MLK Blvd in Oakland. We could tell right away that we were in the ghetto.
And I know from personal experience from living in Chicago, that Martin Luther King Drive goes through the south side ghetto there. I’m sure others could tell similar stories.
Anybody know of a Martin Luther King street anywhere which isn’t in the ghetto???

I've noticed that where ever I go. Is it a coincidence, or what? I recently returned from a trip to Salt Lake City. There is a Rosa Parks street and a MLK street one block apart in the downtown area.
I thought it rather strange for a city which has a population (I'd guess) of 0.5% black (and most of those African African) and had next to zero role in the civil rights movement. But I guess it is fashionable and shows your town is hip and worldly.
Anyway, the street named for Rosa Parks looks like any other part of the downtown area . . . nice neat little shops, restaurants and the like. Whereas one block away, the street named for MLK had seedy looking bars, pawn shops with bars in the windows, check cashing and payday loan vendors. Go figure.

Was proposed a few years ago here in Charleston, SC to name a street after MLK. One Dem pol declared that it would reduce crime as young blacks wouldn’t commit them there out of respect for the name of MLK. He was serious. The idea was voted down as it seems we already have a MLK Boulevard in the area. Was brought up that having two in the same city would cause confusion with emergency services not to mention people who didn’t live there.

What town in the South doesn’t have a MLK Blvd, St. or Road? Our town threw up one of those green type banner signs on one of the streets coming into town but they didn’t officially change the name on any of the other signs and no one calls it anything but it’s original name. Apparently that was enough to appease certain people. What business wants to spend all the money it takes to change all their stationary, forms, checks, envelopes etc.

You have that completely correct, sadly.
