6400 block of South King Drive at around 5:54 p.m

Every time I look for "King Drive" in Chicago, it comes up "(Martin Luther) King Drive". Is that a coincidence, or is my search engine defective?

It’s officially Martin Luther King Junior Drive - used to be Grand Boulevard, but it got changed (as occurred similarly in lots of large cities) sometime in the ‘60’s, if memory serves. It runs from Bronzeville at the north end to Roseland in the south, through SouthSide ghetto neighborhoods the whole stretch of some 12 or so miles.
