Oh yeah, they were definately in the poor areas. And dangerous as well. 7 in the morning as we hear gunshots. But we had some fun with it too. We made an acetylene cannon and fired it on the roof. Two guns walking down the street hauled ass and ducked behind cars.

So, when people ask, with that look of confusion, why you left Miami.....as they see it, a vacation mecca....what do you say? I tell them to escape the warrants for arson and identity theft, then ask them their address.
