Finer Points of Lakeville

As a resident of Lakeville I’d like to make a couple of corrections to the article in your June issue on the last metro Ben Franklin [Rakish Angle]. We only have nine elementary schools and three middle schools—not twelve and four respectively. We also have an Area Learning Center, Community Education Building, and Family Learning Center.

The road from McStop doesn’t exactly wind either. It’s a straight shot with one long curve passing a couple of open fields soon to be taken over by yet more sprawling single-family home sites and townhomes.

Lakeville covers a huge area and still has vast, open, rolling hills. I like the fact we can drive a couple of miles and be surrounded by farmers’ fields—the occasional whiff of cow manure in spring confirms the ground is thawing in spring.

Lakeville’s downtown still has a tranquil small-town feel far away enough from the rushing traffic of Interstate 35.
