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???

No it's not. There's an MLK Blvd. that intersects with Harriet Tubman Way in Spring Valley, NY, it's one of the most dangerous areas in the Hudson Vly.
