As an old time Lakewood resident I’d like to tell Baltimore, Cleveland and any other communities: “Be careful what you pray for.” We in Lakewood would always encourage friends and relatives to come live in Lakewood, but that didn’t work out very well, did it? Our old Lakewood lifestyle was ruined and we’ve just become a new Brooklyn. Maybe it would have happened anyway. Who knows? I have also heard nice things about Cleveland, but just let it grow naturally. That should be good enough and you will have more control over the values that you want to maintain.
