Don’t all larger urban areas already have an MLK drive somewhere?
Yep they do. Sadly MLK Blvd tends to indicate you are in a bad neighborhood.
It was quite sad here in Seattle when they renamed Empire Blvd to MLK. The thing was, MLK never once set foot in WA state, but Empire Blvd was named after the Empire Builder, the train that brought the majority of settlers to the region. We traded real history that was meaningful to the region for being a me-too politically correct poser. Nowadays, few kids even know that the Empire Builder even existed. And yes, it runs right thru the worst part of Seattle.
