Yeah belle glade sounded familiar. I think their football team was really good. Haven't been following high school sports for a few years now. I think that's over by lake Okeechobee. I think Boca is the furthest I been in Palm beach unless it's a drive thru. My boy lives up there but I haven't seen him in a while.

Yeah, Belle Glade is an NFL factory. Sooo many NFL players have come out of that tiny town. Belle Glade is one of the largest producers of NFL players per capita.

And Boca is the Southernmost city in Palm Beach County, so it's a bit closer to Miami...

You're one of the few New Yorkers who doesn't like NYC. Even the New Yorkers who move to South Florida still love NYC. What don't you like about up there?

-cost of living. Unless you raking in serious doe, you can kiss ownership and investing in rental properties goodbye
-vigilante cops
-potholes and traffic
-stuck up people everywhere you go besides the hipster areas
-overweight and wack bytches
-#1 target for terrorist attacks
-outrageous parking meters and tolls
-weather sucks for half the year
-beaches suck

NY is just an overrated pile of mediocre.

fukk. I miss Florida so much lately. I wish I had the money to move back down there

Moved to Florida twice in the past 3ish years only to come back (home sick, mom missed me etc couldn't afford where I was at and had no one to rent with) and realize how much happier I am when I'm down there. My self esteem was better, my appearance, my skin, my eating habits, my mental health, my social life etc

I'm Greek, I belong by the beaches and nice weather

I really hope my dad gets his early retirement pension this year cause that means my parents are buying a house down there and I'm going with them lol

It sucks feeling you're stuck in a place knowing you belong and feel happier else where

Yeah, Top 6 is what they're called. They were a Haitian clique in Lake Worth/Lantana. I lived in one of the neighborhoods where the clique got started, but we left looong before Top6 took over...

Lake Worth isn't as bad as Riviera Beach though. Riviera Beach and Belle Glade are probably the worst towns in Palm Beach County as far as crime.

Yeah Riviera beach is bad

Tbh I don't know west palm too well but that one area on or near North Flagler drive is bad, too. (Is that considered Riviera?) on the side of the intercoastal it's nice but then on the other side it's bad

That whole area straddling North Flagler within West Palm's city-limits is a mixed bag. That whole area contains 3 or 4 neighborhoods that run into each other all the way until you get to the Riviera Beach boarder. So I don't know which neighborhood you're specifically referring to.

But I can list the names of neighborhoods along that corridor.

There's Historic Old Northwood, which is contains mostly nicer Spanish-Style homes form the 1920's. That's probably the nicest neighborhood of all those neighborhoods on the Northside of West Palm Beach(The Northside has historically been more impoverished than Southern West Palm).

Then North of Old Northwood is Poinciana Park, which is somewhat similar to Old Northwood, but a little less expensive I believe.

Then North of Poinciana Park is Northwood Harbor, which is a little sketchier than the aforementioned areas. That's the last neighborhood you drive through before you enter Riviera Beach's city limits.

Generally the neighborhoods west of those neighborhoods(West of Broadway) are even sketchier. The general rule for the Northside of West Palm is, West of Broadway=The Hood or Hoodish. East of Broadway(and closer to Flagler and the intracoastal) generally equals a little nicer.

But the very worst of the worst that West Palm has to offer as far as poverty, drugs and violent crime, are the neighborhoods South of ALL the aforementioned neighborhoods. The neighborhoods I'm referring to, are the ones that straddle North Tamarind Ave(the most notorious drug corridor in the county). The neighborhoods off of North Tamarind are easily the most violent in West Palm, and are just as violent as Rawvera Beach.

There's a homicide map on Palm Beach post that has dots, indicating where all homicides in Palm Beach County occurred, and the North Tamarind area is sadly, fully immersed in dots...

My guess is you were probably referring to Northwood Harbor, which is pretty much a mixed bag...

Okay I think I know where Northwood Harbor is, I think it's West of Broadway. You know that huge bridge you go over and on one side (towards the ocean, I think?) if you're coming from Jupiter towards the city and there's a factory or power plant on your left.. right past that. You pass by a save a lot?

Edit: Also yeah it's crazy how on one side of North Flagler, way past the park it's all rich people but on the other it's like a completely different area. One side it's the wealthy white peoppe then right across the street you'll have the projects and POC. It so blatantly showed the systemic racism

I lived in Tequesta but the first time I lived in Florida I lived off of Military trail. Which wasn't bad. Except the few times at night I felt unsafe walking to the store across from my apt complex.

Anyways, it's crazy how on one side of North Flagler, way past the park it's all rich people but on the other it's like a completely different area. One side it's the wealthy white peoppe then right across the street you'll have the projects and POC. It so blatantly shows the poverty + racism

Yep, the power plant is just Northeast of Northwood Harbor. Correct.

And yeah, you can clearly see the history of racism in the city, just by looking at the economic disparity between neighborhoods within close proximity of each other. But those neighborhoods contain some nice historic homes.

Yep, Tequesta is way up there. That's far away from all the riff-raff....so it seems.

Was just at the beach yesterday

Yeah I'm from Mass and while we have plenty of ghettos and such and racial and economic disparity it's a lot different and I guess harder to notice due to the large amount of middle class and the fact the rich being tucked away in the mountains or in nice apartments in the city so it was pretty crazy to me to see how blatant it is in Florida

Some parts of Florida really freaked me out, for example I had to travel to who the hell knows where in the middle of nowhere that was MAD country to go get my license (didn't get it until I was 25, embarrassingly) and it was the only time And place I could do it. Anyways, we had to drive like 30 miles through fukkin corn fields and shyt all I saw was black prisoners working on the field and right when you get off that long road to turn left and there's the DMV was the prison. It weirded me the fukk out and made me feel mad uneasy.

Where in West Palm are you at?

You were probably in Belle Glade. Belle Glade is the poorest of the poor in Palm Beach County. Sad, sad, sad. But NFL players come out of Belle Glade, like Cars come out of Detroit.

I currently live in North Carolina. But I used to live in Lantana. It's a coastal town that's on Lake Worth's Southern boarder.

Yeah it was Belle Glade.

The wait at that DMV was so long I just chain smoked cigarettes outside with some country as fukk sounding dude who had on Dora the Explorer socks with flip flops and was blasting Boosie through his phone

They have some characters out there in the Glades area. Belle Glade/Pahokee/South Bay/Clewiston Areas of Western Palm Beach County:
