[edit] "Small city?"
Lakewood Haskell Middle School will start on the day of September 10, 2006 in conclusion, we will be having a discussion of when school starts. This discussion will continue as of later on in the middle of August. Thank you for your participation.
[edit] Prefabrication/ranch argument
Some degree of prefabrication occurred in the construction of nearly every 1950s housing development, including Lakewood; factory workers wouldn't have been able to afford to purchase the houses otherwise.
As for whether the typical Lakewood house is "ranch-style": probably not, by the strict definition. I admit some appellative sloppiness in labelling it as such. In my home area, Chicagoland, any single-story post-WWII house that isn't a brick/concrete bungalow is typically deemed to be a "ranch house." --Slightlyslack 08:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Richard Bach
I remember Richard Bach mentioned growing up in Lakewood, though he was not born there.
[edit] Lakewood Center mall
A section or a separate article pertaining to the Lakewood Center and its history needs to be added. It's one of the biggest malls in the country and it doesn't even have a mention in Lakewood's article. President Rhapsody 00:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
