A post on another site, people thought was made by Ed FitzGerald, Mayor, when infact it had been made by Ed FitzGerald, head of Lakewood's Building Department during the Tom George administration. In that post he used the term, "director of new Lakewood" which mad people thin, and panic that the FitzGerald Machine

Of course this was not their first fling at "Main Street"-- that was the original name for the failed Westend project replacing 1,500 tax payers with a strip mall.
The original West End project was called "Mainstreet" when first shopped about. It provided two things, "Shopping!!!!" and was needed immediately or Lakewood would go down the tubes and turn into the dreaded "ghetto." Of course neither statement was true, but a small handful of people had decided Lakewood needed to be changed, and changed like Crocker Park, Legacy Village, you know, new and clean, and with SHOPPING.
That project was defeated by the voter by a margin of 47 votes. Over the next six months, the group that demanded shopping over people morphed into yet another version of itself called...
That failure started LakewoodAlive version1, to quote from emails, "to educate Lakewoodites why we desperately need commercial retail!" 12 years later, we lose our strongest and largest asset, and they end up with the property, the money, and Lakewood future.
Go figure, all accident and coincidence!
Ain't life and death strange?
