9 Weeks and Still No Comment from City Leaders on Rumored Lakewood Hospital Move to Crocker Park

The possibility that the Cleveland Clinic could move Lakewood Hospital operations to Crocker Park in Westlake may seem remote, but some residents aren’t so sure. Recently, Beck Center for the Arts seriously considered moving to Crocker Park, until the City of Lakewood delivered a financial subsidy of around $100,000 to help keep Beck from leaving Lakewood. Residents want to learn more about the possibility that Lakewood Hospital could close and if any of the rumors are true. But, so far, Lakewood Mayor Michael Summers and Lakewood Council members are keeping quiet about the City’s hospital operating agreement with the Cleveland Clinic, the top discussion in the “Community Forum” again this week.

These are the latest discussions in the Community, Westshore Entrepreneur, and National forums today, plus the most recent Free Classifieds posted.

Area Residents, School Students, Church Will Picket Proposed Drive-Thru

Lakewood, Ohio residents living on Woodward Avenue and several other streets are planning two public protests this week.  The first will be a demonstration at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 2nd, to protest the building of a McDonald’s restaurant.  They will protest at the planned restaurant site, the shuttered Detroit Theatre on the corner of Detroit and Woodward Aves.   Group members say they’re concerned about “increased traffic and safety issues that will result from the construction of a double drive-thru, fast-food eatery with two entrances and two exits on Woodward Avenue, a residential street of over 100 households.”

The citizens’ group is planning a second protest prior to the 7:00 p.m. Lakewood Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, November 3rd, outside of Lakewood City Hall at 12650 Detroit Ave.  Group members have attended and participated in City of Lakewood hearings and reviews for the McDonald’s restaurant. A spokeswoman for the group added,

“It’s not just Woodward Avenue residents. Neighbors from Hall, Northland and Wagar Avenues may be participating. These streets are also impacted by the McDonald’s construction, as well as Trinity Lutheran Church (at Detroit and Hall), students from Harding Middle School (at Madison and Woodward), and local businesses.”

The planned McDonald’s has been a subject of debate for several weeks in the “Community Forum” on Lakewood Buzz.

Built in 1923, the Detroit Theatre closed its doors in January; it was the last movie house in Lakewood. The building’s owner is asking $695,000 for the theatre and property at 16407 Detroit, according to the grassroots group of residents.

Lakewood, What Kind of Town Do You Want?

In the “Community Forum” on Lakewood Buzz today, Buzzer 1353taco asks, “What Kind of Town Do You Want?” He posts:

The theater closes. The gelato store opens. Buy Lakewood offers discounts at “arty stores.” Beck center programs provocative and classic fare. Summer seminars for children priced beyond the reach of ordinary people. Recycling becomes easier. Birdtown behaves like an inner ring suburb within an inner ring suburb. Are half of us trying to be the Heights or Tremont and the others just staving off our next move? What is the future of this town that I happen to like more than all the other ritzy places that I spent time in? I meet folks every day who lived in other unique places and they feel great about this city, where do we go from here? What is the mix?

Winter must be behind us!  Because a new purveyor of ice cream will soon open its doors for business in Lakewood, Ohio.  The Sweet Spot will feature Italian gelato ice cream made on its premises. It will also feature locally baked cupcakes, cookies and pies.

Now under construction, its opening is projected to be during the last week of April at 17804 Detroit Avenue, across from the Beck Center for the Arts.
