LAKEWOOD’S ROUNDABOUTS AND LAKEWOOD SATURDAY OAK LEAVES
MEMORIES
How old are you? Do you
remember Lakewood before roundabouts? Am told by a Lakewood resident on
10/4/2021 that roundabouts are being put in/installed/built on Gravelly Lake
Drive, one each at Nyanza Park Drive, Veterans Drive and Washington Boulevard
intersections. Wow!
Speaking of, "How old
are you?," are you so old you remember fall Saturdays in Lakewood when oak
leaves that fell from trees were raked into piles, not "pushed" into
piles with noisy leaf blowers? And, do you recall the smell of those oak leaves
when homeowners burned them? It was, at least to some memories, a sweet scent
even though it was polluting the air and a health hazard.
