Right at MLK Blvd. Got stuck in the road block this afternoon. Figured someone got shot in that part of town. Good had Pete's hwy shut down and we had to take a detour.
Someone link WBRZ story. I'm on mobile.

I know, seems more likely they'd have a James Earl Ray Blvd

Used to be Rodeo Drive. In Junior High in the early 90's, a young hip hop group debuted an original song to the entire gym entitled, "This is for all the G's on Rodeo."

No. That's not a lie, either.

Do they intentionality put
MLK Blvd's in the hoodest part of town, or does the worst element just flock to it like moths to a flame?
