Martin Luther King Blvd. in Los Angeles was originally named Santa Barbara Blvd. It was changed years ago, but some older people still call it Santa Barbara Blvd.

^Same here. Martin Luther King Jr Way in Seattle going to Renton used to be called Empire Way years ago (when it was SR 900).

Here in Daytona Beach We have Main Street that goes from A1A to Beach Street. There, it changes its name to Fairview Ave, until it gets to N. Ridgewood (US1), where it changes to George W Engram Blvd. which runs from Ridgewood to Nova Road, There it changes it's name to Dunn Ave. which runs from Nova Road to N. Tomoka Farms Rd. :confused:

Horse Block Road is also named "Farm to Market Road." That name also exists on Portion Road.
