To quote Chris Rock, "Martin Luther King stood for nonviolence. Now what’s Martin Luther King? A street. And I don’t give a fuck where you are in America, if you on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there’s some violence going down."
Camden has an MLK and Malcolm X intersection. You have to pass it to go to the E Centre. It looks like a warzone and has looked like that for 50 years.
I stayed in a hotel on MLK BLVD in Salt Lake City a few years ago and was amazed at how clean it was. I didn't even realize it was MLK BLVD until I was walking down the street at night and saw a street sign (the street changed names a few blocks up from the hotel).

Was it him who had a joke that was something like "If you're on the crossroad between MLK Boulevard and Malcolm X you in the bad part of town"?

Even in sleepy Waco, Texas 20 years ago. When I accidentally turned onto MLK Boulevard, I thought I had entered a war zone.

Salt Lake City is basically cheating.
Don't forget his "If a friend ever calls you and says they're lost on Martin Luther King Boulevard, tell them: RUN!!!"
From NYC, can confirm. Though the MLK St in St Pete Is pretty nice. The exception that proves the rule I suppose.
The one in Lakewood, NJ isn't too bad either.
