Is it my imagination, or does every shooting seem to occur within a block or two of MLK Blvd?
@ReaderinNOLA... actually, it's not your imagination. Did you know any city that has a MLK blvd\st\etc.. is infested with high crimes, drug dealings, and shootings? I don't think that's what the good Dr. was going for. It's sad... You would think that those streets honored in his name would be full of sunshine and daisys.. The same thing can be said about "washington st's" :(
Lake Mead Blvd and M.L.K. Blvd, is the black on black shooting hub of NLV. The one area of the entire valley, with more churches in one square mile, has the highest violent crime. Even after the high crime projects were emptied in that area, and the residents moved to section-8 houses all over the valley, that had forclosed and were bought by the state, the crime in the M.L.K blvd area, hasn't subsided. So what did we learn?
remember the UNLV vs. UNC game "They dont know $#!t about maryland prkwy" he shoulda been screaming MLK Blvd instead. And not to sound racist in anyway but is there any city in america that MLK is not a bad/ghetto street?
They is good people though.........really.
Metro must have known something when they put their HQ right on MLK....
Maryland pkwy is going to feel slighted if people claim that MLK is #1!
Dang mark! I'm sure MLK would be very proud of the way his name is honored by those who reside near the Blvd's named for him. It is sad how things have gone so wrong since his passing.
Obama lost another vote -------
Must Loot and Kill Boulevard.
