Well, we told some people that we were moving to Arizona but plans changed for the better. I won't explain all the details since they're pretty boring. Anywho, we now live in Lakewood, Ohio.
I love this town. Everywhere I go, I'm constantly meeting new people. There is so much to do, see, and explore. The best part is the prices of everything from homes to products at the grocery store. Plus, there's lots of outdoor activities.
Here's a stupid little video I made on the quick.
Best Parts:
- Meeting new people every day.
- Walking distance to the lake which actually looks like the ocean.
- Cool historical homes.
- When it rains its like the monsoons in Arizona. Thunder, lightening, huge downpour and then sunny skies.
- Huge homes that only cost 100 thousand.
- Has the feel of a small town and an urban city at the same time.
- Zola, Viola, and Mona love it.
- Almost everything is walking distance.
- Cool downtown area with live music and farmers market.
- Excellent parks. You can feel like you're in a big city and walk to a river, go fishing, or comb through the forest.
- Rated coolest suburb, best place to raise a family, great schools, and low crime.
The bad.
- We are so far from friends and family.
- No good Mexican food. Seriously!
Well, I haven't experienced the winter yet, so my list of the bad may change. Although, from everyone I've talked to, people here seem to celebrate the changing of the seasons whatever it is. Once you're sick of one, it ends and then you get a new season. Also, people are fanatics about the holidays. I guess Halloween is a big deal which I guess is celebrated the way Christmas is in other states.
