Suburb in Southern California, adjacent to Long Beach.
Was developed after World War II and rapidly grew with cheap homes made even cheaper to families under the GI Bill. A larger development than Levittown, Lakewood was also the first planned city to have a shopping mall at its center.
Gained notoriety with the Spur Posse scandal in the early 1990s.

Get the Lakewoodmug. Lakewood is the fifteenth largest city in Washington and the second largest in Pierce County with approximately 60,000 residents and eleven hundred businesses. Lakewood is surrounded by the beautiful lakes and scenery of northwest Washington including bountiful views of Mt. Rainier. It is home to sixty thousand residents and nearly eleven hundred businesses. Lakewood is just minutes away from Puget Sound and a short drive to Seattle and the Sea-Tac International Airport. It's neighbors include the major military installations of McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis as well as the Washington National Guard's State headquarters at Camp Murray. Lakewood is home to many popular tourist attractions, including the Grand Prix Raceway, Lakewold Gardens, Thornewood Castle, Fort Steilacoom Park, American Lake Park and Lakewood Game Refuge. And with great educational opportunities, a strong business district, and numerous recreational opportunities, Lakewood is the place to be!
Originally settled in 1849 by the United States Army, Lakewood matured over the twentieth century into a bustling urban area south of Tacoma and incorporated in 1996.

Get the Lakewoodmug. A large working-class suburb just west of Cleveland, OH. The coastline consists of wealthy older liberals in 1920s mansions. The West End is a party spot for 20 somethings. As for the rest of the place, it's a combination of normal suburban families, gays, trust fund-less broke hipsters, and drug addicted criminal scum. The neighborhood goes from decent to terrible in the blink of an eye depending on where you go. All the billboard ads are for HIV meds, abortion clinics, or drug rehab programs. There's good pizza though, if that's your thing.
I parked my car overnight in Lakewood and someone smashed the window and stole the stereo. Who the hell steals car stereos in 2018?
Last night at Mehalls I saw two drunk 40 year old trannies in a fist fight. Typical.
I took my grandparents to Pier W one time for dinner but after driving up 117th St they said they'd never do it again.

Get the The Lakewood Projectmug. Lakewood highschool, WA is in fact hell. Filled with snakes and snitches. Usually every single bathroom has someone vaping and if you can get lucky, you can spot a rare occurrence of freshman fucking or taking pregnancy tests in the family bathroom. The staff is... I mean... there might as well not be any because they don't do shit. People walk around with juuls on their necks and what do they do? Nothing. If you go to lakewood I'm sorry this is coming from a Lakewoodian and I'm ashamed.
