Our Speaker Today:
Jim Harper
Freelance Writer and "Park Critic"
Jim graduated from Columbia University, taught English, and then went to the University of Florida to complete his Master's degree in Communications. Jim is a regular contributor to Swimmer magazine and a double columnist for the Biscayne Times, circluated in the north-east Miami-Dade County, where he writes about the environment and "Park Patrol", a rating for local parks. He may be the nation's only practicing park critic.
He spoke to us about his work and gave a presentation on what is happening in our area with green space. As golf courses are closing, there is a trend to turn those golf courses into parks. There is a need for more green space in Miami-Dade. One of Jim's favorite parks is the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and he also really likes Simpson Park.
