Exile City: Why Lakewood?

A lot of people don't know much about Lakewood, so I wanted to share a few things on why we are taking roots to plant a church there.

• Most densely populated city in Ohio. Also the most bars. 
• Most densely populated suburb in between New York and Chicago. 
• Nationally recognized library [Ranked 2nd best in the Nation]. 
• Values the arts. 
• Values small local business. 
• Great restaurants. [a.k.a. The Melt as seen on Food Network]. 
• Affordable housing. 
• Many young adults and working professionals. 
• Great parks. 
• Business Week says it's a great place to raise kids.
• Very few churches, and a huge need for Jesus.
• And now it's one of America's 10 Coolest Suburbs!

P.S. - Buy our house in Mansfield for $39,900 so we can move to LAKEWOOD!
