Capt. Pacheco of @LakelandPD: 33 public and private schools in #lkld do not have full-time resource officers. If LPD officers were required at each school, it would cost $4.7 million the first year, he says.

The Palms, a house and recording studio at the corner of Cleveland Heights Boulevard and Edgewood Drive, won the city of Lakeland’s beautification award for May. The landscaping is accented by palms, ground flowers and a whimsical guitarist sculpture/mailbox. Owner Danny Welling told city commissioners today the design was inspired by the palms that line Cleveland Heights Boulevard. The winner of the city’s commercial beautification award was Audi of Lakeland at 1215 Griffin Road. #lkld
