Losing It All to Sprawl


My posts of pictures from the Citrus Tower on Facebook have generated impassioned responses from those who remember pre-sprawl Florida. First I received a link to a film dealing with the subject of changing Florida called Swamp Cabbage. Then I received notification that Florida's prominent environmental writer Bill Belleville is speaking at the History Center on Saturday about his book "Losing It All to Sprawl: How Progress Ate My Cracker Landscape." I'm going to attempt to get the book read by Saturday so I can participate in the discussion. If you are interested, please join me!
