Thanks Prudence! I'm making notes.

Yes, but Lakewood is a world of difference from Compton. (For those of you who are not familiar with it, Lakewood was the first planned community/mega-suburb in southern California. It's very Steppford-ish. The population is older, middle class, and very friendly - everyone waves at you. Bill said it reminded him of the south.)

The iffy neighborhoods in Long Beach are much closer to us where we live now.
