There is also a sculpture garden at the Civic Center as well as plenty of free parking. City Hall is where you go for such things as obtaining a business license, getting permits for building or remodeling, paying your water bill or getting information on recreation services. It's also here that you will find the City Council Chambers where meetings are held. There is a dolphin fountain in front of City Hall that children play in on hotter days. The Sheriff Station also includes the Community Safety office where you can obtain special permits for overnight parking in residential areas. The Library is amazing with themed sections and an entryway that includes a huge aquarium. Words can't do it justice and for a better overview you can check out this video: https://youtu.be/uFfWmuTvpm0 Many events, such as the Veterans Day ceremony, are held here throughout the year. With the nice grounds, a variety of sculptures and fountains it's a pleasing place just to walk around.

I actually am sitting in my car in the parking lot after briefly walking into to help the kids with homework. As soon as I got back to the car, I checked Yelp to see if they enabled no/half star ratings. The library is overflowing with homeless people. They are now all over the Children's areas and the smell and condition of the library is unbearable. It's clear that the city is enjoying their apportionment of homeless funding in exchange for helping them get into public spaces for shelter. As a result of this, the library, which ironically shares a parking lot with the police station and another gov building, is unusable for its intended purpose. Its smell is so putrid and heavy, my kids commented as soon as the door opened to enter. We searched for a place to sit that wasn't so rank or close to the homeless, but there was nowhere to sit. The other students in the building were also commenting, so it's a feeling shared by others -- not just myself. Looks like this library has been ruined.

I think now it's now famous as the home of Elizabeth Taylor's 7th and last husband. The "City of Stanton" in a governmental sense wasn't bad. They provided a great library and Boys & Girls Club. My first play "California Suite" was at the Stanton Community Center. All of our potholders had come in the mail with the names of Stanton's councilmen and representatives. Did that happen everywhere or just Stanton? As a city, it's okay. I lived in Stanton for almost all of my pre-adult life. It was a quick bus ride to Huntington Beach (sometimes we rode our bikes the 12 miles), and a straight line to Disneyland, just five miles away, close enough that we could see the nightly fireworks that served as an unofficial curfew to come home. I attended Savannah and Mary Perez (both gone). For fun, we had a Golfland, Stanton Village Edwards, annual St. Polycarp festivals, trampoline basketball courts, and the unique Hobby City (now Adventure Land). Though we were regulars at an independent Mario's, the best places to eat in the late 70s were Sundowners (cafeteria style), Me & Ed's (especially after a game), and Pinnacle Peak, where they'd cut off your necktie and hang it, if you were stupid or silly enough to wear one. Like many California cities, it had become populated due to a railway. The LA Interurban ran straight from Watts to Santa Ana in 1905. I, too, would run straight from Watts. Named for LA assemblyman Philip Stanton, the rural area grew and was incorporated in 1911, and although it was then the largest city in OC, Anaheim had planned to use it as their "sewage farm". I think some of the seeds are still there. They dis-incorporated in 1924 to avoid the cost of road building, and re-incorporated in 1950s with the post-war population explosion. Around that time the railway no longer carried passengers, but became my shortcut to junior high. As of 2010, the population was 50% Hispanic, 23% Asian, and 22% white, with a median household of nearly 4 and an income of $51K. Though Safewise included Stanton in their seventh annual "California's 50 Safest Cities" report in 2021, the only time I was "mugged" was two boys taking my newspaper money. It was a little shadier back then. I think the guy running the Olympic torch down Katella (which I witness in 1984) was running a little faster than normal.

Used to be able to call Sheriff Dept and give info they'd provide a temp overnight parking permit. Now they've automated with online application and I've spent 3 hours trying to obtain an overnight parking permit. It's not working due to software issues & there's no one to assist after business hours. I Called Cerritos Sheriff and they said if you get a ticket take it up with parking enforcement. You'd think in an emergency situation for parking the city would have a go to plan for it's citizens. Very Disappointed how insensitive the City of Cerritos has turned into when it comes to assisting it's citizens in emergency circumstances.

Well, it took me a couple of hours to complete everything needed, I think this is fair because I did not come prepared with all the paperwork filled out if I had I think I would've been out in less than an hour maybe even less than 30 minutes. I would also like to say that at first it's a little frustrating because there's not a line you can walk directly to, but then upon second glance, the check-in system and the exceptionally kind gentlemanly receptionist was super helpful and would put you in queue for exactly where you needed to go. I actually found this rather efficient. Furthermore, everyone was extremely helpful with anything that I lacked knowledge on. I got the permit and started the roofing project and everything has been going very smoothly and I'm just very impressed with I do about 100s a year all over Southern California so I experience. The last thing I would like to say was, I really quite had a great time at the office because the morning I was there it seems like the coordinators of the front office a couple of very kind ladies. It seemed to me like we're organizing the staff and having a kindly meeting about how best to operate, it seem very cordial and productive... Then in the middle of the meeting, some soup walked in, does seem like Very butt hurt. He wasn't invited to the meeting and made a big stink out of it, and it clearly made everyone extremely uncomfortable. They were trying to whisper, but it was pretty obvious though there was a ton of office drama going on... Listen, I don't know who's on the right side here, but I thought it was pretty funny and from my perspective, no matter who is right the "Suite made everyone super uncomfortable so I thought it was hilarious. Anyway, I still recommend the city of Lakewood if you need to get a roofing permit... In fact they are the only game in town

They do this very often like every day many times throughout the day. Also, ever notice how there are constantly ambulances and fire trucks sirens going constantly each day especially up and down Del Amo Blvd and up and down Studebaker Road? It's so annoying that the city makes all this noise each day especially when homeowners paying nearly $1 million for their 1957 cheap looking stucco homes would like some peace and quiet on some days during the week.

The sound of the water and the dolphin family sculpture is so tranquil, and because I really connect with dolphins, it honestly felt like the perfect welcome. Right when you walk inside, the artwork in the glass displays pulls you in. It's creative, organized, and just visually nice to take in. As you wander further in, the large aquarium connected to the children's section is another standout -- it adds this calm, magical feel to the space. I grabbed a magazine and found a quiet window seat, and those 30 minutes of zero calls, zero texts, zero noise? Pure heaven. I didn't realize how much I missed just sitting and reading without a single interruption. Before heading out, I checked out the psychology and cooking sections, and it reminded me how much I've always loved libraries and bookstores. The whole visit made me want to get a library card and come back once a month just to enjoy that peaceful moment. I could've spent hours just checking out each section.
