Lakewood Streetwalk + 5K run

July 17th, 2010
Detroit Ave. in Lakewood Ohio, centered around Warren

I have been pretty impressed on what local business and community of Lakewood has been able to plan, organize and EXECUTE in terms of really making Lakewood shine as a city. From legislation for cafe style dining, to partnering governmental organizations with community groups to actively affect change Lakewood seems more alive and hopping then ever.

A prime example is the annual Lakewood Streetwalk, a complete hijacking of the city's main commercial automotive corridor that transforms it into a more vibrant pedestrian (and cycling) only zone. This year there are quite a few activities planned and it looks like it is going to be an enormous good time that highlights Lakewood's walkability and livability.

It is one of the things that makes me completely adore this city.
