hello mayor!

the mayor came to our door yesterday? anyone ever had their mayor come to their doorstep? first time for me, and i was taken by surprise. i think he's up for re-election and is making his rounds. unfortunately, still being a newbie in the area, we don't know any other lakewood mayor before him. i guess he can count on us for his support, he seemed very nice indeed. we love lakewood, and we love living in lakewood. the newly renovated library (which is at the end of our street) is awesome, there's great local shops around, and my kids love lakewood park. yes, our property tax is high compared to, let's say, cleveland proper, but our school system, and our police force, and our roads in the winter are way better than, let's say, cleveland proper. so what can i say? no complaints yet (except for our new neighbors...they're loud, annoying and very young, or maybe it's because we're getting old that we think they're loud and annoying?).
