I was the security site manger for Wackenhut Corporation at this property before I retired. I must say that Omni Lakewood Limited has done wonders fixing up the building. Hats off to Mr, Campbell and Mr. Lukich. I remember stopping off and talking to Rob Durr as I made my rounds. I was impressed with what things can be used to create various works of art.
