immokalee vs. my home

Immokalee is very much so a spitting image of the old America. My first time hearing about Immokalee was when i went to a drag race to watch a family friend race. Passing through Immokalee i did not really see much besides farms a few buildings and more farms over vast expanses of open land the town of Immokalee sits on. Immokalee is very different from Fort Myers for one Fort Myers has a much larger population not only does it have a much larger population there are many major stores such as Target, Sports Authority along with many others. Immokalee is also very different from where i grew up which is in Pembroke Pines. Pines grew at a much faster pace than Immokalee. It seems that one could say that Immokalee is "behind the beat" when it comes to industrializing and growing into a city that is heard of not a city that nobody knows of.
At the rate Immokalee is growing in 10 years i personally do not see it getting much bigger. I am sure someone will come along and realize the potential behind the city of Immokalee and want to make it a better place and want to industrialize the area but until then it will still continue to grow at the slow rate it is.
