Here in Grand Rapids, Mi, there was an attempt to rename the main North-South street (Division Ave.) to MLK Blvd. After all of the usual BS charges of racism, the street got an “honorary” designation only. No one to this day ever refers to it other than by its real name. It is one of those streets for most of its length that you would never dare drive through with your doors unlocked.
Lansing, MI, MLK Blvd. = Sh!thole
Detroit, MI, MLK Blvd. = Sh!thole
Flint, MI, MLK Avenue = Sh!thole
Saginaw, MI MLK Blvd. = ditto!
same thing happened in Ithaca - The City of EVIL when the businesses on State Street(one of the main streets in the city) said they weren't about to change all their legal paperwork and letterhead etc for somebody with NO connection to the city whatsoever...
