Neighborhoods
This Historic Neighborhood is busy and bustling with downtown activity, businesses and residences alike. This neighborhood has a rich history within the Civil Rights Movement, and was the birth place of Martin Luther King Jr. - a fact both cherished and protected by local residents. The neighborhood is currently home to the King Center, as well as Ebenezer Church where MLK served as pastor from 1960 until his assassination in 1968.
As with any city, it’s wise to use caution by not leaving visible items unattended in your car when you are parked on the street.
Separately, there is a population of unhoused people who may ask for food or change. Many have been greatly impacted by the Pandemic.
We believe in love and respect for all of our neighbors here in Old Fourth Ward, and we also respect those who don’t wish to engage. If this is the case for you, no worries! We recommend just smiling and walking on by.
