[edit] Wrong Date

Lakewood, Colorado became a city in the 1960's with Jim Richie as the first mayor. The city of Lakewood when incorporated took in the areas known as Lakewood, Belmar, Green Gables and Alameda. The incorporation was a reaction to Denver gobbleing up many surrounding areas. The first city building was at 1550 Yarrow, what is now the Clements Center. An interesting side note: The first ticket given out by the Lakewood police was to a counselman from ward 3, Bill Brown, right after he left the city counsel meeting where the police were comissioned. Prior to being commissioned as Lakewood, these combined regions were referred to as Jefferson City. Political Analysis 22:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lakewood High School

Lakewood High School is the the number one high school in Colorado based upon what criterion?

You should cite the Newsweek ratings.

This section is very opinionated. Jefferson County Public Schools uses LHS as a magnate for IB purposefully. Other high schools in the district are magnates for other things.

[edit] Best known for

I hardly think that casa bonita is what lakewood is best known for. You might as well say it is more known for Jose O'Shea! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.92.67.13 (talk) 00:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
