This is getting as bad as the 1960’s.
...the shooting happened near the Marathon gas station on....[wait for it] ... MLK Blvd at Flint Drive.
I just read this and told my wife this would be the nexus of evil: MLK and Flint. Oh boy!
MLK Boulevard need to be investigated for causing mayhem all over America.
S Dallas can exceed that expectation: MLK St intersection with Malcom X Blvd.
I wonder how THAT goes..
Or maybe not so much wonder....
There is a annual
parade there for what ever reason.
Nothing good ever happens on MLK Blvd.
MLK Blvd.......ya don’t say......
“...the shooting happened near the Marathon gas station on....[wait for it] ... MLK Blvd at Flint Drive.”
So I guess we really don’t have to wait for a mug shot, do we!
FWIW, in San Francisco, it’s Caesar Chavez Blvd, which used to be Army St., that’s to be avoided. The only real difference is the ethnicity of the perps. But I have to say,as one who worked in the area in the 1970’s and 80’s, the rising price of real estate is changing the area rapidly now.
Yessiree!
MLK would be devastated to see nothing good happens on every road named MLK.
“.....MLK Blvd at Flint Drive.”
I call that a clue.
Same thing in ST. Louis, MLK ave. is a free fire zone.
That area is a very high crime area. Seems every night the news reports crime out of that neighborhood, that and Lehigh Acres. The Fort Myers PD is trying to clean it up but there is a lot of community friction with the PD due to past issues.
