Chris Rock had a great bit on this. Said you ever get a call from a friend for directions and he says "Right now I'm on MLK Blvd" the right directions are "RUUUUUNNNN!!!"

Me, too. In fact, I can't offhand think of one that's not among the more dangerous parts of town.

One would think that'd be a wake-up call...

It's the main drag and the further up the hill towards Cornell, the more white it is. I lived on State St in 1972. About midway on State Street in the city, there was a really great Greek restaurant named Rosebud. Mousakka and pitstio.
