BTW: Porky's was based on a real "gentleman's club" that existed in Hialeah back in the 1950s/early 60s, whose owner was a portly redneck nicknamed "Porky." My friend Rich's father used to hang out there.

Most people today are shocked to learn that back then Hialeah was almost all redneck.

Correct. Its amazing that when I lived in Boca (1991-1994) and Miami (1999-2002) I never once heard a southern accent, nor saw any rednecks until I drove north and got into St. Lucie County. Even in the latter county, they were way outnumbered by transplants (which is why they stood out).
