This is already a street you don't want to travel after dark. IMHO the MLK moniker will have a negative effect.

Yep, because it's worked so well in every other town.

Was initially PO'd about all the re-naming but realized LibTaints were doing something Normals could never get away with.

If all the warning lights on my dash are flashing, smoke rolling out the back like a Zero in a death dive, and sounds from under my hood sounding like a Jamaican steel drum symphony I. Will. Make. It. To. The. Next. Exit.

Naming a street “MLK” always changes things for the better.

Totally agree. Any street named after MLK is one you should avoid. I always thought it was a way for cities to slyly let people know where their most dangerous areas were while at the same time letting Black leaders think they were getting something from the “Man’.

Why is it always MLK Boulevard? I’ve never seen MLK Street, MLK Avenue, MLK Highway... It’s always MLK Boulevard.

“The renaming of a street may be the road to change.”

As far as I read. What an inane, bleeding heart, naïve, nonsensical statement.

Knew it was a women who wrote this before checking the author’s name.

It has been my experience that every MLK street in every urban area is that sort of steet.

Renaming the street to MLK Jr Ave only cements the area’s unsafe reputation. During hours of darkness I go miles out of my way rather than do a one block shortcut on MLK. Daytime is normally OK if you keep your windows up, doors locked and don’t make eye contact (and of course remain heavily armed).

Got lost once in Dallas leaving the Cotton Bowl and discovered the intersection between MLK Blvd and Malcolm X Blvd.

After what the FBI tapes revealed about him the street name could be “The Black Bill Clinton Blvd”.

These idiots believe that changing the name of a street will fix the neighborhood.

Wow, every black person knows the ghetto starts at MLK BLVD. And Cottonwood is a tree, a poplar. It has nothing to do with Cotton. The tree seeds look like cotton in the late spring.

Its odd that the FBI releases recordings that MLK spent numerous nights with women, sometimes with two men and one women, sometimes with prostitutes. Yet we are still naming streets after him. It seems that African Studies has a blind spot.
