I love the City of Lakewood and if I were to ever move back to the frozen tundra that is NE Ohio I would likely pick Lakewood as my destination. There are lots of things to do, see, eat, and drink in this city. And it is fairly pedestrian and bicycle friendly - look 3 times before crossing a street tho. I've heard the school system gets pretty good ratings in case you have rug-rats. All in all, I don't think people appreciate living along Lake Erie as much as they should!!
