Most of the MLK streets with which I am familiar are in areas of towns that are noted for drug dealers and prostitution.

Hardly a tribute.

It's a Chris Rock joke -

Go to any city in America with a street called Martin Luther King Drive - and run for your life!

My, what an interesting coincidence... I wonder why that is?

Here in Austin MLK runs right between the University of Texas and the State Capitol. Along the way is the State History Museum and very likely the future site of the George W. Bush Presidential Library.

Must be those "Noah's Ark" neighborhoods.

If you don't travel in pairs, you just don't travel.
