Congratulations Lakewood! 1 Of 10 Best Sml Cities To Move To

"here are even places lauded for their dual specialisation in grub and brews, such as Melt (with its deep fried sandwiches) and and Buckeye Beer Engine, which is renowned in the area for its burgers. Best of all, they aren’t chains; only 7 percent of restaurants in Lakewood are, which is something to be excited about."

Good work Lakewood, great work all of the non-big box stores!

Good news for Lakewood, but nothing many of us did not already know. Lakewood is a real city, not like Plastic Park.........I mean Crocker.

Applebees, in theory would be a Lakewood restaurant.

I also put little cred in a report that bases more on bars per person than quality of schools,
life, etc. What I found amazing had we had a couple more places for live music we could
have been in the top 3, as we were 127 in live venues.

But I find it amazing. Yet again, another list of why we are hot, and again, none of it
planned, all of it organic, sure with city helped, but not with the city "planning" it. Yet, we
roll out excitement after tweet after blast for 5 Guys, Bob Evans, The BEST Taco Bell. This
will only get worse as they have hired a PR person to do heavily controlled interviews and
news releases instead of, opening the parks back to original hours, another basketball
court, a light at manor park.

Or put another way, we are all carrying out trash to the curbs to pay for their new spin
artist and PR "technician."

If that doesn't tell you something where residents rate, nothing will.

Do what they want out of the light of day, and just send everything through the spin art
lab, and tweet, FB webpage it out.

It was more than slightly ironic the first two were TELLING RESIDENTS SHOVEL THOSE
WALKS WE WILL TICKET, and RESIDENTS MOVE YOUR CARS WE WILL TICKET AND TOW!

Simply observations.
