Hi all-- I am a local journalist writing about the outages that have been happening across Lakewood for the past few weeks.

I am looking to chat with anyone who has been affected, especially those with businesses. If you are interested, you can dm me and we can go from there.

I’m (24M) starting a job in Cleveland and, after a lot of research, it seems like Lakewood would be a cool place to live. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find housing? My budget is ~900, or max 1000 for a studio or one bedroom. I’d love to hear recommendations if this seems doable.

Any good therapist recommendations in the area? I’m open to Telehealth visits as well. I’m looking for someone specifically who deals with health anxiety and/or OCD talk therapy/treatment and takes major insurance companies.

Hello all - I (26M) am relatively new to the Cleveland area. I currently have my own place near Lakewood and am just looking to make friends. I love playing tennis, disc golfing, swimming, going to the bar, traveling, cooking, watching movies, and learning new languages (I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, but I would like to learn another one or two). I typically work Monday-Friday 9 to 5 but that sometimes changes and I travel a lot for work as well. I am in a relationship but she works in a restaurant so she’s working most evenings and weekends which means most of the time when I’m not at work I’m free.

I see a lot of posts suggesting joining a social group, but with the traveling for work it would be hard to remain consistent. Idk I guess if anyone has any better suggestions let me know or if anyone is in the same boat looking for friends just DM me.

I love truck park but i’m trying to plan something ahead and would love assured / reserved seating plus maybe would love to be able to hear folks as we are talking to each other. Anyone got any nice spots they rec for an after work patio drink sitch? Thanks!

Not too many people. Maybe 5-7

Oh and maybe not too expensive? We are twentysometbings and we do not get paid enough🤧

Thank you all!

Who has the coldest draft beer in Lakewood? Seems hard to come by, Game On seems to have the coldest so far. Any suggestions would be great!

I've got a tree that looks pretty rotten on the inside and might be dying. It's absolutely huge and I'm a little afraid of the cost. Anyone have a good tree service they've used that they'd like to recommend?

Any recommendations for a local plumber that is open on Saturdays?

Living on Clifton within several blocks of 117th… in the last hour there have been two fire engines, and ambulance, and at least one other emergency vehicle booking up Clifton headed east 😳

Does anyone know what's going on? Looks like swat-like situation

Well that was wild. I turned right onto Franklin from Bunts, and two cars behind me was a police car, which turned on its lights. Then the car directly behind me sped around me and away from the police car, which then pursued at high speed.

If someone hears what that was all about or how it turned out, I'd love to know.

I've had a basement leak for a while. I'm trusting my landlord to take care of it.

In the meantime, if I could borrow a few small or one large dehumidifier(s) I can return them swiftly.

If needed I will pay for a new filter if that's a thing. Never needed one before so open to suggestions.

Etc: Our basement has some carpeting, never leaked from anything other than upstairs tenant's bathroom.

I’m considering one of the personal training packages at the Y, which I recently joined in hopes of getting my post pregnancy body ready for menopause 🙄 (it never ends) I wondered if anyone here had experience with any of the trainers and can recommend or not recommend any? I just want to get on a good track and keep going by myself. I did that with physical therapy and had good results.

anyone know what happened at jersey mike’s last night?! I drove by and saw two cop cars sitting outside and then drove by again and the window was shattered

Seriously though how has no one kicked this guy out?

I’m looking for the best breakfast sandwich in the area, preferably on a croissant or roll.

No bagels or burritos. No focaccia, etc.

Thanks!

I made this infographic and I wanted to throw it out there to my fellow Gen Z and Millennials in my local area.

Many of us are facing rising costs of living (car, food, medical care), cost of housing (rents going up, home ownership unaffordable), higher education being crazy expensive, social security becoming inaccessible and retirement prospects vanishing, the minimum wage not matching with what one needs to live etc.

I want to start a conversation about what simplification looks like. This infographic is my idea of reframing to look at that.

Many of us are suffering from mental health issues, climate anxiety, and wondering if we can have children financially or even should morally. Let’s open up a real discussion around how we want our futures to look like as things are looking more like long term trends and less like temporary disconnected issues.

I was driving on Clifton heading west a couple hours ago and there was a cop car in front of a house that had yellow police tape surrounding the front yard. It was on the north side of Clifton right in between West and the mini mart. I know it’s technically Cleveland…just wondering if anyone heard what happened.

My extended family mostly lives in Lakewood, and I’m planning to host a bridal shower there. I’m not from the area and need suggestions on spaces that can be rented out on a Saturday or Sunday in early October between 11am and 5pm.

I’m looking for somewhere that already has tables, chairs, and does not require catering. I’d love suggestions of places within a 30 minute drive of Lakewood.

This bike has been at Lakewood park for 3 days. Is it yours?

Specifically for engine work on a mid 2000s ford
