Its weird that a small street corner where there is wrongdoings can make the whole area seem corrupt. Its like that saying goes,"It takes just a few rotten apples to spoil the whole barrel".

Agreed, I wonder what is going on there, must be drug related. I have driven through that area before and I have never seen anything unusual, I've seen many worse places in South Florida. I'll guess I'll think it twice before going there in the future. |

Do you close your eyes when you drive through Overtown? |

I don't drive there on a regular basis, but the times I have (at nighttime) I have never seen anything unusual. Of course that's my personal experience. I guess my comment was more like a "you never know". I have driven through many bad neighborhoods in S. Florida (Liberty City, Little Haiti, Pompano Beach, West Hollywood, Goulds, Naranja) and the only part I have seen crime in action was the first time I went to Pembroke Pines out of all the places. |

I looked on google maps. well it is In overtown's zip code but I'd consider it Little havana because it's so close to the orange bowl. I always thought the worst part of overtown was near dorsey park because it looks the worst..

I thought the worst part of overtown was the NE corner of the 395/95 Interchange. Most of the apartment complexes there are abandoned... It is like a scene from Sarajevo during the mid-90's - completely void of people.
