Lakewood, OH

This summer the Cuyahoga County Board of Health group focused its outreach and promotion of the My Life, My Body: Family Planning Clinic in Lakewood, OH. When I went through the city on a cursory assessment of the community I was surprised with the diversity in the city. From what I saw at the beginning of that day there were a lot of young people and young families. As I spent more time there it was easier to find the older population. Many people are eccentric and the stores were no different; the store ‘Goddess Blessed’ comes to mind along with the gay bar called ‘The Church Bar’. It is a quirky neighborhood and it was a lot of fun walking around getting to know the city.
