  • Pahokee, Florida, is where we are for this video. The city lies right along the southeastern shores of the all mighty Lake Okeechobee. From here it’s about a 45 minute drive east to get to West Palm Beach, and about a 15 minute drive south to get to Pahokee’s sibling of Belle Glade. Pahokee is the third and final video of the three cities of the Glades that I filmed while I was down here, and life in Pahokee is much like what life is like in both Belle Glade and South Bay.

    I grew up at the southern edge of the Everglades but I also spent plenty of time in the Lake Okeechobee area, fishing and partying. Had some great times. I can't vouch for Florida now as I moved out in 2001. I go back to visit around once a year and a lot has changed. Mostly a LOT of new development.

    The excellent narration speaks of isolation, poverty, depopulation, crime and probabale lack of future potential. The video shows all this unequivocally. A perfect place to put an even more isolated seperate community that you have to see and hear about to believe. I have never been here but I have been to areas very near this on multiple occasions. The excellent technical work really makes one feel they are actually there from the color and brightness of the sky, tropical foliage and architectural details to name a few. As is most often the case it is not one thing but a constellation of things that matter. I see nobody better at this than Chris.

      Maybe one day. My audience doesn’t really dig Florida videos. Hard to justify making more trips down there to film videos if most ppl won’t watch.
      I do go to Florida occasionally so whenever I’m down there I’ll likely film at least a few videos per trip.

    An interesting place. Human life brings so many interesting facets to what one would think would think be just like home but maybe different weather or plants and animals. You have one of the most in-depth dives into these individual communities in your mini series compared to some “big name” CZcamsrs. I have never not been educated by you and I appreciate every video.

      I won’t trust me. It’s a fine place to go on vacation but not a good place too live. Way too many people. In the next twenty years, that place will be just as crowded as Southern California. Growth isn’t a bad thing, but an unhealthy amounts of growth will cause serious problems with transportation issues and unaffordable housing. People need to learn from Californias mistakes. And it doesn’t matter who you vote for. The more housing shortages and running out of room to grow, will cause housing and places that will be just as unaffordable as San Francisco and LA. I’ll just stay here in Ohio where the cost of living is lower and where investors here or not buying our properties like hotcakes like they are in Florida. And that’s actually one of the main problems as well.

      Alligator is one the most expensive types of leather. The luxury leather is mostly shipped and tanned in France. Items made from the hides run into the thousands. Just because there are alligators in Florida, it doesn't make the finished goods cheaper than anywhere else.

    Labelle is the fanciest of the Everglades towns. It's a shame that there are so many African descendants in Pahokee as if there was a better group of people it would be a far better experience. Florida City is no better but 10 times more expensive.
