Also, do note that Lakewood is probably the most racist part of the city. Its full of young people of Irish descent who love to start fights. So if you get into a tiff with some dude and he just leaves, that doesn't mean it's over- he is probably waiting in the parking lot with his bros. Have fun!
In high school, the few times I went there to drink each time someone tried to start a fight with my friends or me. I've really hated the place ever since, I do believe though that more hipsters populated the area with joints like "12bitbar" opening up. So that might've calmed the suburban middle-class white angst a bit.
I've been living downtown for the past 2 years, absolutely love it. Got some chill places like the Maproom, Portside Distillery / Brewery, Winks, Flanneries.
Bolded Portside because it's still relatively new, amazing beer selection (all brewed there), and cool location. Owners are cool as hell too, if you haven't stopped in there yet I highly suggest it.
Anyway, the true reason I wanted to post in here is because my Fiance wants to get the hell out of Downtown- for multiple reasons; one being that she gets harassed by ghetto african-american dudes everywhere she goes (sorry to be so blunt, but it's true). So we are considering moving into Lakewood. I'm not fond of the idea but I have to roll with it because she cooks and does my laundry.
