My buddy is from there and he told me that crime and drugs are simply taking over. Kids that used to play football are now selling dope. He said the young thugs are taking over the communities. Adults are essentially being held hostage. They don't say anything to the kids and can't reprimand them cause they're wild and people are scared.
There's still talent in the area but I think it's clearly fallen off. It ain't what it used to be.
So much talent. But I read an article about the area after the real estate crash of 2006 to 2008 where whole neighborhoods were abandoned. Don't think it's ever recovered, and no new businesses have moved in to take the place of the old agricultural businesses that have left.
Quantino Allen ended up at Oregon State per 247. How does a kid from the Muck go all the way out to Oregon to play ball? He should have gone to play for Charlie Strong or one of the other Florida schools.
There's a documentary on Netflix by James Patterson about "The Muck" called Murder of a Small Town. Its based around the story of the black football player that killed a white store owner in the community. It also follows Glades Central football team for a season... the documentary pretty much sums everything everyone else here has said about the area. Drug, crime, and poverty. Whats crazy is less then 10 miles is the beaches and multi-millionaires
Yup we had a tire store branches in Clewiston, Belle Glade, South Bay, and Labelle. we were forced to close 3 of the stores due to lack of business from the mass exit of people leaving to find work.So much talent.

Another factor to those already mentioned is a numberof those poor people were sold homes in that leverage krap and next to nothing down payments around circaa 2003-2006 and when the bubble popped the homes were worth half or less of what hey paid so they just left. I taught school there and I heard the stories from families.
