Shopping Malls?...Shop Downtown Lakewood

Do you remember...When you got dressed up to go downtown shopping? (it didn't matter which downtown!) When your purchases were carefully wrapped in tissue or gift boxes and placed in paper shopping bags? When stores had beautifully decorated display windows? When the "clerks" engaged in conversation and even smiled? When your parcels were carried to your car?

Well-- grab your "Christmas Club" money and join the downtown Lakewood merchants Thursday, December 8 for a special Downtown Lakewood Holiday Open House. The Downtown Lakewood Business Alliance is proud to announce its first annual Downtown Lakewood Holiday Open House. Participating Downtown businesses will be open until 8 p.m. Enjoy Super Specials and refreshments. Stroll Detroit Avenue while enjoying the sights and sounds of the holidays. View the beautifully decorated display windows and travel back into your memories. Most importantly, discover all the treasures Downtown Lakewood businesses have to offer. From Bernhardt Furniture to Birkenstocks and Woolrich to Woodours Bears-- we really do have it all. Great gifts await you at all the Downtown businesses.

And don't forget about the Gingerbread House Tour-- see amazingly-decorated gingerbread houses in all the the Downtown businesses while taking part in the Gingerbread Scavenger Hunt.

And when your feet are tired and your shopping is complete, please stay for dinner at one of our fine downtown eateries. See you Thursday, December 8. Happy Holidays!
