I lived in key largo in 1992-1993ish. Smuggling was part of the pop culture. LEO was in cars, planes, boats, etc... you couldn’t go 5 miles on US1 without seeing blue lights. You could buy “seaweed” for $20/quarter. Scheit that hit the water not sealed tight and took on seawater. People chopping out lines on the bar at the Caribbean club, go fast boats docked up with rumbling motors shaking the windows at plantation yacht harbor marina where I worked. My roommate got stabbed in the parking lot of the paradise pub for hustling some Haitians playing pool.
Had a guy that used to come in and slap $100 bills in all our palms for anything we did. S.Florida in the early 90’s was the wild, Wild West.
Should have been here in the 70's.
