A great time 4 rating By TrashPanda ( Feb 08, 2021) Loved living in Lakeview 2016-2018. Great food, some food places are open late. If I remember right, nearly all the bars would close at 4am. As a quiet bi and all around alt girl, I really enjoyed the accepting and progressive aspects of the neighborhood and community. Plus I hea ...Read More r they got two taco bells now, so when the club scene is back up that will come in handy. Only once did someone yell at me to, "get a job", while I was enjoying my mid-week weekend from 3rd shift healthcare. Read Less
