I know if I find myself on any MLK Blvd., I make sure my doors are locked.

On Pittsburgh's North Side, we have a MLKjr elementary school. I remember watching them build it when I was a little kid in the early 1970's, it opened in 1973 IIRC. I'm sure you got a lot of schools named after him around the nation. I do remember asking Grandma who was Martin Luther King when I was that age, she just called him an agitator and a communist. I'm a Glenn Beck listener but I think Beck idolizes him too much, I guess because before I would drink the Kool-Aid, I want to know more about MLKjr, you know, like the equivalent of kicking the tires, looking under the hood, the frame underneath and so on to use a car analogy. MLKjr did say a lot of right things and so on, but still there is a side of me that is skeptical on him when I've read articles where he dissed Barry Goldwater and advocated wealth redistribution.

One more thing, I keep the doors on my Hyundai Sonata locked when I drive near there. I’m glad the top speed is 132 MPH with my little 4-banger in case if I have to get outta there. ;)

Does anyone know of an MLK Street anywhere that is nice and uplifting? Surely there are a couple.
