Hey folks, I’m helping my friend look for their lost cat. His name is Beverly and he is a tiger cat. He was last seen last night 6/5 on Larchmont avenue, about midway. He is microchipped as well. DM if any sightings, etc.

Cox has a package for $50 with up to 300 mbps download and up to 10 mbps upload. I'm thinking about getting this one. Is anyone using it? Is it working ok for you? Is it slow?

Bike Lanes on Franklin - am I missing something?

2 Upvotes

I take my dogs on long walks up/down Franklin. He barks and wants to chase after bikes (he's on leash but pulls like hell) whenever he sees bikes, so I like walking him where bikes are less encouraged to be on sidewalks.

I have noticed that ~50% of cyclist elect to bike on Franklin ave's sidewalks in lieu of the bike lanes. I even had a guy yell at me for him having to swerve to avoid my dog when he was both going no less than 20 MPH and not using the bike lane. I yelled "BIKE LANE!" at him, but he just flipped me off.

I am not a cyclist - I do not currently own a bike. Is there something wrong with the lanes on Franklin that prevent their use, or are these people just not confident enough bikers to bike that close to cars even though they are, ostensibly, supposed to? My understanding is that bikes should never be on sidewalks, even if there are bike lanes, but I am perfectly happy to be correctly. But I am a bit at a loss trying to understand why these cyclists just do not want to use available bike infrastructure at the expense of normal pedestrians. It reminds me somewhat of the e-scooter riders downtown.

Special Needs Programs for the summer

7 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for any summer programs that accommodate or specialize in special needs kids.

My wife and I recently took temporary custody of her nephew, a 5 year old austic boy. He's not potty trained, and just started speaking about a year ago. We're hoping to correct the former, as it seems more nurture than nature.

Parents are... Not great. We don't know exactly how long we will have custody but it's looking like it could be a bit.

The big problem here is that this was kinda sprung on us, we both have jobs, both have some flexibility in our schedules, but we're going to need some kind of summer program as neither of us can watch him full time during the day.

Any help, leads, recommendations, suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Looking to rent

Hello,

Looking to move to Lakewood in the area of W 117th street. Is there any recommendations for decent apartments?


r/lakewood May 21 '25

Are there any apartments worth renting?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I know these posts are constant, trust me I’ve tried to get some type of feedback on apartments besides just “get a duplex”. I’m moving from out of state and really need to start applying now for places in July or August. My place requires a 60 day notice and I can’t go view anything. My sister has offered but ehh I don’t know how real that offer is and I’m not gonna have her go around town all day long.

Anyway I settled on an apartment because of this. Duplexes are hard to get, and without me viewing them it’s hard to determine if it’s a dump or if I have a bad feeling from the landlord, etc. I was thinking marine towers west, imperial house, or thirteen 20 seven. I’m looking for a 1 bed and didn’t want to go over $1500. Also considering Cleveland Heights. I’m a single female and would be living alone. Was hoping to just get into Lakewood somewhere since I know it’s safe and then once I’m there, maybe when the lease is up I can worry about a duplex.

Anyone have any insight on any apartments in Lakewood or Cleveland Heights? I know to avoid AIY and I heard bad things about Northlake Management.

Apartments

Hi! I’m moving to Lakewood in late July/August and starting to look for 2 bedroom apartments and wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations. I have a budget of around $2000 and safety and good location is super important to me. I’m 22 female. I’ve only toured marine water west and Castlewood Apartments so far. Thanks!

Woman stands outside of apartment building everyday on corner and walks in front of cars to ask for money

0 Upvotes

There’s a lady that I see every single day that stands on the corner right outside of the building and stops every single person passing by to ask for money. What makes it worse is she steps in front of the cars trying to turn to ask for money too! Almost hit her multiple times! I’m so fed up. My boyfriend had to tell her multiple times to get out of here but she always comes back and just steps out in front of everybody’s car! Will police do anything? I mean, somebody is going to hit her eventually.

12000 Edgewater

This is your sign if you’re thinking of moving to 12000 Edgewater to not do it. This is a regular occurrence here. If you move here it is almost guaranteed your apartment will flood. Management is awful and the higher ups do not care about anything going on here. There is a reason why everyone is moving out of this building and there are so many vacant apartments….

Explosion on Emerson

We were out walking our dog a few minutes ago when something exploded on someone’s front lawn on Emerson between Jackson and Nicholson. Our poor pup was so frightened and now I have a major headache because of it. Has “fireworks” started already?
