Because the street needed just one more change to remind us of its reputation for danger!

And I don't give a *** where you are in America, if you're on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there's some violence going down!"

That's because the safer streets were already named Graham Wellington Boulevard years ago.
MLK takes what's left over.

Well played sir.

 

[spamby]

I thought there was already a street named for MLK?

I think one of the highways may be commemorated in his name, but no streets actually are assigned that name in Tulsa.

That's because the safer streets were already named Graham Wellington Boulevard years ago.
MLK takes what's left over.

A new study has shown that 8 out of 10 people named Graham Wellington find discrimination against people named Graham Wellington to be a bigger concern than discrimination against people not named Graham Wellington.

Can't find the link I had, but I'm sure someone here has it.

Who is MLK?

Didn't OKC do this about 20 or 30 years ago? Way to go, T-town. On the ball, as usual.

Didn't OKC do this about 20 or 30 years ago?

Yep - and their street runs right in front of a former EPA Superfund Site

Oh... ya. Good thing we got right on that. Now all of our problems will be solved.

Oh... ya. Good thing we got right on that. Now all of our problems will be solved.
