Issue 3 is in, and thanks to the huge support of Lakewood Businesses, we have switched to color! This was in no small part do to Lakewood businesses like Lakewood Hospital, Geiger's, Ryser Properties, and others coming on board.

Thanks to everyone.

Even bigger news coming down the pipe this week, as Lakewood only paper and finest website kicks it up a notch.

Watch this space to see what this forum is being spotlighted all over the country, and why Lakewood's newspaper is breaking down barriers while helping build the Lakewood Brand as the place to live.

Thanks again.

I agree with you Grace. Don and I went to dinner and read the paper and kept saying to each other "Have you read this article? The paper keeps getting better. It is a nice combination of directly related Lakewood stories and articles that make you think.

I liked the photography in this one and the drawings as well.

I haven't mentioned it before, but I really like Chef Geoff's stories - maybe I'll try the Pesto and I like the restaurant articles. Last week we tried the restaurant reviewed and I'm looking forward to trying Peppers as well. These are restaurants that I don't think I would have read about in the PD.

Again thanks to everyone involved from writers to delivery people.

The paper and the website is a huge hit in Lakewood, Leakwood, and outside of the county. Email and mail has come in from Japan, California, Florida, Wyoming, Canada, and England.

The paper and it's contributors and supporters are building the Lakewood Brand. Still we have more to accomplish and the paper grows and moves into other areas. So stay tuned, do not change channels, ooopppps, that was a slip!

We have received requests from Columbus, and LINK TV about doing features on the website, and the paper and how this group of dedicated residents have taken the bull by the horn, and spoke their minds, while placing REAL NAMES on their thoughts.

We will have also been asked to participate in some very important national web seminars, and they see the Observer sight as being light years ahead of the rest in the country.

We have two very large announcements coming in the next week or so, that will shake the foundation of the city and the media in a very good but interesting way. So let's keep it up, and keep the BIG MO moving forward.

Thanks again, stay tuned for the Next Observer Party!

Always knew that this entire enterprise was just an excuse for you to have a party.

You know that I never needed and excuse to throw a party.

But with the great group this project has brought together, parties and even meetings are really fun.
