Explosive off the edge.

Immokalee: interesting history.

Cliffs notes version.

Calusa Indians were headed from one coast to another coast and ran out of gas in the middle of a swamp. Called the place "immoklee, which is Calusan for "ran out of gas."

Seminoles were migrating south and, ran out of gas. They joined the Calusan's and added an "a" to the village name.

Ponce De Leon was looking of Fountain of Youth, and ran out of gas. Left a bunch of people who drained the swamps. Missionaries came and taught them how to raise tomatos because what else would you need, in the middle of a swamp?

Then things got ugly. Migrants abused... then the Seminoles put in an airport and a Casino and apparently a football team. Still no gas but plenty of tomato sauce. You have to look at a satellite map to appreciate this place, it looks like the world's largest tomato garden. There is little better than a fresh tomato and a shaker of salt while sitting on the porch.
