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.

It's now called Miami-Dade County.

The MDPD is still in good order—I retired from MDPD in 1999, then left—taking the flag with me. Parts are still nice. I lived in "unincorporated South Miami", just north of the newly incorporated "Village of Pinecrest"—a holdout residential community of mostly lawyers, with their own municipal police force *rolling eyes*.

Prior to 1970, I tried to get friends to move there. After 1970, I told them to "stay where you are".
