"It's time to let the past be the past. We are moving forward and do things not for one, but for all."

According to Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters, Old Dixie Highway served as a reminder that this city was once heavily segregated.

Property values dive as homeowners flee, fearing that the naming of the road after Obie will have the “Martin Luther King Blvd” effect.

Typically such things are named after dead Presidents. Makes me wonder what Mayor Thomas Masters is planning.

Standard bit of wisdom: If you are driving in a city and find yourself on Martin Luther King Boulevard -- GET OFF!

Pretty sure I don't want to drive on Barack Obama Highway.

Prediction: It’ll be re-named within a year of the new president’s swearing-in.

President Barack Obama Highway
The easiest way to find it is to go straight down Martin Luther King Blvd. just past the projects. You'll know it when you see it.
