Phone, Internet and TV There is no cable TV at The Lakes but Satellite TV is available through CenturyLink.  Phone and DSL is available through CeturyLink as well.  Great pricing on the packages and satellite programming is more flexible than cable.  You can also work directly with the satellite provider and bypass CenturyLink.  (DirecTV or Dish Network) http://www.centurylink.com/ http://dishnetwork.com/ http://www.directv.com/

FOOD A Subway and Chinese Food in the Food Lion shopping center in Bridgeton.  I can vouch for the Chinese food! --------------- Shultzee Ice Cream Shop in Bridgeton just past and on the same side as the Hess station.  Debbie also has bagels and coffee in the morning. 505 D Street ---------------- Right beside the ice cream shop is a very good butcher shop and deli.  Boars Head products,  specialty cheeses and the best cuts of meat you’ll find. Butcher Market LLC‎ ----------------- And beside the butcher shop is what I consider to be a good pizza establishment, and they deliver.  George may be driving his Monte Carlo SS. http://www.georgespizzashop.com/
