Lakewood Center North to Become Apartments?

[Amy Martin]

Plaster lights and flowers all over LCN and maybe I change my tune... it might become the happiest place in all DowntowN...

Just like the house on Lakewood Heights Blvd!!

I don't know if the building has any significance either. Although I can appreciate it's style, it's really not about that to me. It's more about the fact that it's already there. It's a well-built structure (w/accompanying infrastructure) that would cost a fortune to remove and you'll never get a building as well built as the one already there. For commercial use, it's just fine. Apartments? Could be great. Obviously, someone thinks so.

Too bad the CCF drove all the independent doctors out of town, or it would be full. All for repurposing though!

Technically, it was Summers and Council that caused the doctors to have to move from this building. All they had to do was file a law suit against CCF for breech of contract and they refused to do it. All CCF did was gladly accept what was given to them by our city officials.

Actually, if you scrubbed the cement and added some uplighting, maybe even color LEDs, it might actually make an interesting centerpiece. Since there's no one to pay the electric bill for the Xmas lights over by the "Hospital," the city has to light something during the holidays.

Having been on the inside looking through those teensy windows, it's hard to imagine it being good living space ... but who knows ...

I was re-reading some of the Borchert Lakewood history book last night, and discovered Rozi's Wine House was one of the displaced businesses that occupied the space LCN is in now. If you tore it down and rebuilt it, Rozi's could reclaim its former space in a hip new mixed use building ...

Great idea Paul, light it up, make it at least good looking at night.

[jackie f taylor]

Great idea...... after dusk, it would stand out so handsomely,

[jackie f taylor]

It has the most important criteria, location, parking and convenience, priceless.

After all, we are not all as pretty or handsome as others, anymore, but it's what's inside that counts. I say, do it.

[Bill Call]

Aren't we lucky.

The architecture of the 1960s and 70s has to be the worst ever. I sure wish the LCN owners "luck" as they try and sell that building as residential.
