I agree, from my view as a city planner (as opposed to a 2Pac fan) that MLK Boulevard would be a GREAT place to put the monument - it's real Baltimore as you say, and it's highly visible and public to everyone.<br /><br />MLK Boulevard also really needs to be redesigned - as I've contended in previous posts. See: https://baltimoreinnerspace.blogspot.com/2016/04/a-westbalt-port-covington-for-working.html and https://baltimoreinnerspace.blogspot.com/2015/09/six-mile-greenway-loop-would-rebuild.html<br /><br />MLK doesn't have to be so divisive. The demographics on either side of it are much less varied than Greenmount Ave. But the way the road is currently designed, it's not much of a tribute to Martin Luther King either. (Chris Rock did a hilarious monologue about streets in various cities named after MLK.)<br /><br />And yes, 2Pac's "The Rose that Grew from Concrete" would make a great theme to create a context. Sounds like a great idea! Old pre-hip-hop folks like me would identify it from the 1950s Ben E. King song, "Spanish Harlem" about that same rose, which became a standard covered by many artists, notably Aretha Franklin and even the Mamas and Papas with our Cass Elliott. 2Pac definitely learned his music history growing up!Gerald Neilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765375014163120449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974845.post-47336415038623909422016-12-28T15:12:12.644-05:002016-12-28T15:12:12.644-05:00He also went to Baltimore School for the Arts, so ...He also went to Baltimore School for the Arts, so maybe Mt Vernon would work, lol, but more seriously, that school is not far from MLK Blvd. which might also be symbolic. Not for the namesake but for the divide between "real Baltimore" and downtown.

Also, that might better justify placing the memorial on the West Side (of Baltimore)!ENStephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850047895861990075noreply@blogger.com
