Southern suburb of NYC.
We resided in Broward County during the early ‘80’s and left after our first two children were born because in 8 years of employment in the tech sector, none of our co-workers children actually graduated high school. At the time, the drop out rate was 50%. We visited the area a couple of years ago...there are parts of Broward which are more like a foreign country...reminds one of Overtown in Dade.
