I grew up about 20 min west of there in Clewiston. Good God, just be glad you made it out of there alive. It’s amazing how much NFL talent is from BG, though.

Pahokee (home of Rickey Jackson) is even worse than Belle Glade.

The annual FB game between Glades Central (Belle Glade) and Pahokee AKA the Muck Bowl is a sight to see. There was also an espn short about hs fb players in Belle Glade chasing rabbits and catching them by hand in the cane fields.

There’s some really run down areas in palm beach / Broward area. That area really has no identity. Not a fan of anywhere south of Jupiter / west palm.

It looks like a tropical West Bank New Orleans.

Yeah that’s hard to believe in Florida but that is paradise to a lot of people living in a third world country. I still can’t believe the shite I’ve seen people living in.

Looks a lot like Shreveport with palm trees.

Take a right at yeehaw junction and keep on going.

Had to drive down to twenty mile bend weekly for a while and that whole area is pretty desolate. Just sugar cane for miles.

Probably some baws on here that spent time down there - I think Cajun did a ACOE job there 5 or so years ago.

Sad neighborhood indeed.. yet those streets he was tooling around on are in better shape than 95% of the streets in Louisiana.
