LakewoodAlive's Housing Outreach Director Allison Urbanek and her group of volunteers
found and painted another house in need of care and paint. While most of us were out
doing what we want, this crew helped another neighborhood retain its property value, and
come together in the best ways a community comes together to help each other.
LakewoodAlive can always use help, volunteers, donations, kind words. Support them!
Pieces of this have appeared in other threads, some has not.
After an early morning wake up...
... and a check of the garden...
Drove past Mat-O barrista extraordinaire at Root and Coffee Proper.
Noticed the Irish Bar has changed its name again...
Went to The Shore for breakfast with Matt and noticed the building across the street in
desperate need of tuck-pointing, and an owner! John McDonnell BUY THE BUILDING ALREADY!
Ham and Cheese Omelet, Matt had his usual Corned Beef Omelet.
Saw Dan walking his rescue greyhounds through DowntowN.
Found this home on Grace I had not noticed before. A friend was thinking of moving out of
the promised land back to Lakewood, and was looking at it.
Amazing detail. just behind Dru's Family Dollar project.
Just like the zoo, without the key, or the animals, or the refreshment stands, or the crowds
but basically just like the Zoo!
Talk about real estate, there goes Paula Reed, relator, and one of the true Lakewood Warriors,
LakewoodAlive, DowntowN, LiveWell Lakewood, X 1000, out strolling in front of Eddie Cerino's
Casual Italian Dining.
Ran into Anthony Scaravelli one of Lakewood's many good photographers, at the MAD Art Walk,
here selling his doorways of Lakewood, and other places, prints.
Saw Justine at the MAD's Art Walk, just passing through I would hate to interrupt anything
as serious as a crystal reading, talk about bad karma!
Glenn putting tables away to take them out tomorrow.
Ken and Kathy Haber enjoying a glass of wine, and a, a, a, a, a I know what people would
say it was if that device was in front of me! I guess one of the many great wines available
at Rozi's still the most comfortable porch in DowntowN Lakewood. Kathy and Ken just
got done from putting all of the planters on Detroit Avenue into new stands that lift them
off the ground about 3 feet. Showing yet again, why they are the volunteers of the
decade, have keys to the city, and well are just such great Lakewoodites!
To be honest I am kind of worried they allow Paula Reed and the Habers to be on Detroit
at the same time!
Typical Lakewood ride going south on Bunts. You might want to put that top up.
Here comes the rain again...
The Water Mouse!
Sunday, found me mostly relaxing and stopping by Lakewood Hardware for their Customer
Appreciation Day Party, oh and the Historical Society's Old Time Baseball Game, and...
Tim Lane, Chris Vance hard to grow tired of listening to them. Rocking it out in the parking
lot of Lakewood Hardware, how can you not love it.
Joe Blues bending the notes.
The Police were called as Chris Vance's bass lines were shaking the walls around town. While
I was thinking Chris should get the ticket, Glen thought, "How about you take O'Bryan,
and leave the band? You know he needs to be locked away."
Then came the rains...
AND...
The Water Mouse!
