Rosa Parks Blvd: You might stop here for takeout at the local deli.
Martin Luther King Blvd: You stop at signals, but keep the doors locked.
Malcom X Blvd: Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!

A panacea for a collapsed demographic

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.
wanna go get some ribs?
I just noticed that some towns went genius and named a road after MLK early on but in an area that a a person would have to go out of their way to get to, not even a minor artery.
Safety issues aside, I would presume that there are a number of businesses along this route. Is the City Council going to reimburse the owners for the expenses they will incur as a result of having to change their street name on all their printed and on-line documents, records and advertising or their future insurance costs which are likely to increase just because of their new street name?
Must be a trend...several cities...my own included...are being pushed to rename streets...we had a main thoroughfare named for a local person...has been for a loooong time. This group organizes...wants it to be renamed...the council was going to name a new street art MLK ...but caved and renamed the one...and promptly had to pay for every property owner to redo their address...
Wait til Jan 2017.
There will be Baraq Boulevards popping up all over America.
Along with making Aug 4th B. Hussein Obama Birthday and End of Ramadan a national holiday.
An interesting study would be to see how the crime escalates or decreases along the highway after the naming. My money is on escalation.
Property values just went down 30% on Kivett Drive.
Barack Hussein Obama Blvd: GTFO! NOW!!!!
Maybe now they can put a Starbucks on it.
Man... could you imagine putting a house on the market on the street, only to have it change to MLK Jr. Blvd? What could kill property values more?
BTW... always beware of properties in neighborhoods ending in “Terrace,” “Gardens” and “Court.”
You think these guys know the Commodores ?
