by the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce, I was driving by Lakewood Garden Center, and
saw pumpkins and Paul so I stopped...
One strange pumpkin at Lakewood Garden Center.
So I asked Paul how did the summer work out, how did the how business idea work out?
He smiled, and said OK, they are glad they did it, and they are glad they did it here. We
talked about many things over the next 15 minutes, but all of hem were good, and really
reflected the autumn chill in the air, and watching him talk about things reminded me of
a farmer, a man of the arth talking about fall, harvest, coming spring. It was nice.
So I said, you are sticking around? He nodded.
As I walked over to my car, he said, "I am not eating steak every night, but who is? Yeah
it was worthwhile. Thanks for stopping."
And that is it in a nutshell, Lakewood a great home for dreams to come true. For small
businesses to give it a try and go it the way they see it. The city must help to cultivate more of these dreams over the coming months. We have a unique opportunity, let's
seize it and stop squandering it!
