    "Although I've only lived in wakefield 4 plus years,I'm still amazed at all the services that are here in my own town.A great walking town,a beautiful lake to picnic at , or fish or boat. there is always something going on around the lake during the summer and fall months.A farmers market.Some really great restaurants and bars to sit and sip while listening to some good music.Great Library.Shopping in town,or a short distance away. A great veterans park,and I believe that if you show respect to your local veterans you show character,and Wakefield does.Commuter Rail to Boston,and great local bus service.A lot of volunteer opportunities exist, or if you just want to blend in you can do that also.I just love my new home towm."
