"Unfortunately, he mind find out that a lot of residents really miss Bob’s Big Boy. – Pete Kotz" Hire decent copy-editors much? ("C*NoTeS" is lousy with this kind of flawed copy lately. Garbage in, garbage out.) BTW: I hope Lakewood becomes so upscaledly developed that the Section 8s are pushed back to where they came from and the city is bleached back to what it used to be. If the City is relocating and redeveloping the parks, I'd be glad for the continued absence of basketball hoops as far as the eye can see...

Click the "Post" button much? OK, we get it: you don't like minorities and a favored outdoor activity of their children - cubed. Perhaps, if you ask nicely, when Lakewood receives its shipment of Clorox and starts bleaching itself, the city will give you some to use the next time you wash your Klan sheet. Until then, start reading dictionaries to find an actual word to replace "upscaledly," you illiterate racist with the spastic mouse-clicking finger!
I have to agree with Mike. In a few years, Lakewood will have gone the way of Maple Hts, Cleveland Hts and Garfield Hts. Towns that were once blue collar now over run with thugs. Dont spend the money to revamp the old parks, use it to build a huge wall at West 117th.
Thanks, Ken. But it's too late for a wall and I don't think we need one. The problem isn't that the coloreds are migrating into Lakewood from The Other Side Of West 117th. The problem is, I didn't move into a ghetto but, now, I live in one thanks to the hillbillies, wiggers, neggeros and foreigners who didn't move to Lakewood to upgrade themselves but wanted to put a better backdrop behind their their common, low-rent lives at my expense. For 41 months, I was (financially)trapped in a crack building with bass-boosted hip-hop "music" pounding through my ceiling 24/7 and sleeping with one eye opened -- all because I wanted to live in a apcious Lakewood apartment with a great floorplan. So, I'm a little touchy about moving into a pocket of art and intellect and winding up in a prison yard. I'm good with diversity, as long as diversity means wearing clothes that are no more than one size too big, not pretending to be something you aren't (wiggers) and respecting the peaceful enjoyment of the other 59,000-plus Lakewoodians who know how to conduct themselves. Further, Ken, if you would, kindly tell "michaelamillerisamoron" that I can manipulate the English language as it suits me because I know the rules and am, therefore, allowed to adjust those rules as I please. Also, I posted thrice because I wanted to edit my posting after it was too late -- but I didn't know it was too late because of the subdefective craftsmanship of the C-Notes website. Further, if "michaelamillerisamoron" is the man-bitch I think he is, hiding behind his tragic li'l pseudonym, he could have deleted the first two duplicated postings, seeing as how he's on the staff of "Scene". Also,if "michaelamillerisamoron" is, indeed, who I think he his, tell him his peroxided-up wife (whose oddly-chosen baby voice comes out of a puss that resembles my aunt Louise) wants him to slay three whores on his way home so she can use their blood to conjure up some omore of her overly-applied crimson lipstick (also known as "a waste of red").
Thanks, michaelamillerisagenius. There was no emoticon so I couldn't gauge your level of cheek, so I'll focus on the complimentary bits. Even your pseudonym seems less cowardly than the other. Seriously, though, I'm not a racist. I come from a family of bigots, so -- trust me -- I have the contrast. My tolerance has been compromised by the unsavory habits of others, but I'm great one-on-one and acquaintances of every stripe still wave to me from across the street and smile broadly as they do my bidding from their retail cages.
Is all the money Lakewood mayor Tom George got from Glitz and Associates and its owner Harry Glitz, payback for planning to let Glitz replace Kaufman Park with more crummy stores?
What about the $ 4,500 or more that Lakewood Mayor Tom George reportedly received from Harry Glitz and his company Glitz and Associates, located in North Canton, which is the company that wants to get rid of Kauffman Park and put stores in that green space, so it will no longer be green space and no longer be a park. Isn't that a bribe? Yet Mayor Tom George took that dirty money (and alot more tainted money) and is doing what Glitz wants, namely, supporting this dirty plan to let Glitz have Kauffman Park, to turrn it into stores. So now we know how Mayor Tom George raises so much money for his curent re-eelction campaign, by taking bribes and selling out the residents of Lakewood, in his oiwn sneaky way, to try to get re-elected. Most of the money he gets for his re-elelction camapaign come sfrom people who do not live in Lakewood, many doing business with or seeking to do business with the Mayor's City hall, trying to get contracts, etc... Mayor Tom George apparentrly would be in jail, if the anti-bribery laws were enforced.
Lakewood is not changing, it has already. Yes, I am tired of seeing, dealing, and having blacks close to me. I have no idea what Lkwd City Hall is doing. My property value have gone down considerably, part because of the whole economy, which will rebound; however, the back part is not reboundable. I see them at every corner walking, and biking aimlessly and talking loud enough to them a block away. For every liberal die hard out there as I thought I was, i hope a black family moves next door. There will be 4 to 5 kids with 4 to 5 different baby daddy and still going. Have fun.
Well - No wonder my friend was threatened off his street with a shot gun 20 years ago here in Lakewood - poor naive me didn't think that sort of thing still happened in teh 80's - and I guess I must still be naive because I didn't realize we traveled back so far in time to such racist intolerance. Now that I got that off my back - Kauffman park should remain greenspace. We have enough empty retail/office space in the city. Have you seen all the for rent signs in the INA building? -Along Madison in the little shops too. Our city leaders should focus on filling up the retail spaces we have rather than selling a wonderful opportunity to have more green space. One idea is a nice walking park - check out Brooklyn's park and what American Greetings is doing with the old Memphis theater - turning it into a walking park. OR what a great place to relocate the dog park - OH I forgot, no tolerance, we'd have citizens suing the city because of the noise.
