There are many small towns like this in Florida. I miss home, seeing the old oaks being consumed by the the lower foliage. Moss growing and swaying in the warm humid breeze. I think this town grew out of the populations of migrant workers in the citrus groves and sugar cane fields.
when i was growing up in Naples we would be 20 or 30 deep playing in my hood, soccer or basketball or kickball. now they just play online, we were the last REAL generation for sure. i say you get a better childhood in Immokalee than in Naples if you think about it.
Lived here for many years growing up.. our hangout place back then,was Sugar Shack and Glends pool room on Main Street..Cielito LINDO dance Hall..miss those days
Raised in immokalee, and surprisingly amazed how it's changed in many years, including my high school, the new innovation center is amazing, living in California isn't worth having your kids going to their school, they apply too much pressure for college prep, they are having 1st to 5th grade learn geometry, algebra, and all as a way to get them ready for college, they don't have funds for field trips, students raise the money for them... I'm all for them getting ready for college but that something you do when the child enters middle school.. if I move back to immokalee I'm glad the schools my kids go to have classes or places that gives them the hands on learning experience, it's forever my home
We used to drive thru here coming from Miami to Tampa a few times a year. Off season that town would be deserted. I guess a lot of the migrant workers settled down and stayed. Im pretty sure it was tomatoes and oranges.
Guys did you ever go to “ Kissimmee “? Also can you recommend your favourite Cuban restaurants in Florida . And what would be the best dishes to try for us who never had Cuban food before . Thanks guys 🙌🏽
Kissimmee Is interesting. many new cars and aggressive drivers. feels NEW, elegant but also aggressive. neat town. RUMBAS in NAPLES, VAN VAN in NAPLES, HAVANOS WATERFRONT GRILL in marathon, Mariuchi's in Hialeah. Bradenton has havana cafe they are great. Las vegas in Broward. Jacksonville has a good one too cant remember the name. Port Orange has a cuban place too thats good. order "Cafe con leche" warm coffee or "batido" milkshake.m try mamey flavor. real cuban order is Palomilla withj white rice, black beans and fried banana. also, try guaba pastries if they have that. QUE RICO is a great colombian place in north port always get Bandeja paisa in Colombian places. in Miami "ruta 75" is a great colombian place. colombian places also sell batido. when you do puerto rican get a tamarind juice. Gandules Grill great puerto rican place in lehigh Acres.
Well despite what a lot of people say about Immokalee really is a good place on a hard-working people but there's also a lot of heartache out here wanting to go out to the market the casino everything's all good stick to the main roads don't wander off and go exploring
yeah its real in the field out here in these small towns. Country but hood. hard working folks tho 100% just trying to survive. Most jobs in fields not exactly an easy life down here.

Since Naples has treated their poor like trash cannot find a place to live in Naples because they're pricing it for the wealthy a lot of people live out here working Naples live in Naples for many years I'm poor and have a disability and then the rich people around there will treat you like an animal all the wealthy there we'll just spit on you and walk away so Immokalee is my home my hood if you weren't born in Fort Myers or Immokalee or even Everglades City if you weren't born around the area Immokalee would not be the place for you to live but Immokalee is a great place with a lot of great people in it I love Immokalee my hood my home💜💙💪
Immokalee is my hood and my home there is a lot of hard hard- working people but if you are not born around this area I recommend you not staying around for too long yes a lot of hard-working people a lot of hard partying people Grant you soon as people go past this casino the kind of want to turn around real fast I don't blame them Naples treats us like shit out here all the good donations for food go to Naples not here to the super poor where it needs to be all know I love my Immokalee
seems like south Florida is alot more rundown than the north Florida I live in st augustine and we only have one little area like this and it not nearly as nasty
@@johnperic6860 I'm retired USAF and now work as a machinist so I dont think I could afford to live in Naples or a nice area in Miami !! I have 14 acres near st augustine that I inherited from my grandfather I fixed up the house and since I am from this area I just decided to stay here !! it seems like down south your either filthy rich or dirt poor and the property and home prices are 3 time what they are here !! I considered the Tampa Bay area but thats way to crowded for me
@@johnperic6860 there are downsides to North Florida to like not as much going on and kinda boring !! if I was 25 years younger I would be down in Lauderdale or Hollywood it was a hopping area with alot of cool bars and great night life !! and you got to deal with alot colder weather here we get them 20s and 30s around here and the heat and humidity seems worse in the summer and no breeze !! climate seems a little better in the south
1. All of Immokalee is poor. 2. We showed two newer developments 3. I love my hoods and real street people. 4. I didnt come to USA to drive around un a clunker. 5. Do you know how many people used to live here and miss their town now back in americas missing where they lived? Get outta here with that crap.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS All of Immokalee is poor? Woah that comment is a strong comment for someone who just comes to eat tacos and have 3 comments saying immokalee is nice and about 100 comments on bashing Immokalee. You know, naples has some ugly neighborhoods as well....as does ft myers and estero.
What you call squalor, I call my home. Don’t bit the hand that feeds you and don’t talk with your mouth full. These people work hard for what little they have.
@@christiegarcia617 i meant no disrespect. the videographer was intentionally driving around the poor parts of town. i realize people have to live somewhere. where i live, we have the same kind of neighborhoods. actually, there is a poor side of town in every city in America. that's the shame of this country. as wealthy as America is, this administration is paying illegals, and letting it's citizens suffer. not to be funny, but vote Republican, the democrats want to control us with welfare, freebies, and a LOT of talk and no action. i hope the best for all Americans, no matter what state or city they live in.
Its not little mexico anymore, it was called little mexico in the 80s and 90s but now Guatemalan ppl have tooken over Immokalee With out no doubt one of the ugliest town in florida. And also full of chickens how i wish town was like it was in the 80s, Immokalee just gets uglier and uglier by the year. Sad to see ppl destroy town and not care, trash everywhere.
Idk immokalee pretty dirty you see chickens crossing the roads you have people not knowing how to drive right lol might have to move back to the east coast the best coast no doubt
THANK THEM next time you have a TOMATO, SUGAR, or orange... thats how the hardest workers in USA gotta live. THIS WORLD AINT RIGHT.. may i ask what you raced?

2:18 I owe that chicken $5
Just got back from a wonderful vacation in FL. However, I can now say that Immokalee is the armpit of FL after driving through it.
May I suggest Rubonia in Manatee county. Think that'll change your mind.
It's the most bug free city in America.

I've Never heard of this one
Been there and believe me you are better off having not.
tacos worth dying for.. like literally. or at least a parking lot fight. LOL had a guy wanted to fight me for "taking pictures of his chickens"
I think. If I'm Correct they grow some Excellent Tomatoes around the Town!!!
The best tomatoes and the hardest working people on earth ❤️
Why would you look down on Immokalee it has some of the nicest People here they work hard everyday to support their families. Shame on you .
