[Writers Note, Lakewood is a wonderful city of people who watch out for each other like no other town I've seen- People say it feels like a small town from the 1950's where everyone knows someone who knows someone else. I Love this Town! It's a town where you can still borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor]
