I grew up there as a teen in the 80’s and it is the demographics that you say, even still today from what I understand.

We may have bumped into each other then. My inlaws at the time lived there, as did several members of my family. I lived just north of Eureka drive, but I traveled there often.

It was a working class neighborhood, and as "trashy" as parts of it were, they were mostly good people, I have many good memories. That neighborhood was particularly hard hit by Andrew, but all the people pulled together, took care of each other, and armed themselves to the teeth and took care of crime that way :)

I lived in cutler Ridge in the 60’s went to Palmetto High, graduated there with 1,000 others in 64. I got out of Dade county in 1970 when I thought it had really gone down hill. I can only imagine what it must be like living there now.
