Over the last 25 years Downtown Toledo has changed so much with the addition of the Huntington center and fifth third field. The warehouse district is thriving with apartments and new city life. Going to a baseball game or a hockey game in Toledo is always a good time.

I was born in Toledo. My entire family is from there. But I moved to NJ when I was two. Visited Toledo twice a year. My dad worked at OI (Owens Illinois) beginning at 15 years old in 1943 during the war. Only job he ever had til he retired at 55. My grandmother worked at the Auto*Lite factory during the war and after. Lived at (545 Earl St.). And a few members of my family worked at the Jeep plant. Nobody lives there anymore except two cousins of mine. It's sad. Toledo has become a toilet bowl, quite literally. We are a Polish family, but our neighborhoods are all so diverse now, which is good. Toledo has certainly changed. All except for the very deliscious ( I can eat ten of them at once), Rudy's hot dog. Best hot dogs on the planet! I miss my grandparent's Shoreland home on the Ottawa River. Great water skiing. The fireworks over the Ottawa and Maumee Rivers on the 4th of July. Unfortunately, the only time I go there anymore are for funerals (Calverly, Ottawa Hills). Sad. But I'll always love Toledo. I've lived all over the world, but Toledo is my true home. Even Southwycke Mall is closed I hear.

Krabby it is sad, I was born and raised slightly up River in Perrysburg right at the banks at Buttonwood anyhow Toledo has always been a beautiful Town highly historic from the revolutionary war on. it's sad to see such a beautiful place go to s*** that being said I still think Toledo has plenty to offer. history a side there's an awful lot great places to eat and yes Rudy's is definitely the dog capital hands down. Robin and all the girls behind the counter are exceptionally personable as well as Harry hell of a place.I think that packo's pretentious dogs or whatever they're supposed to be suck. but I digress and and gotten off the subject at hand Toledo has always been a great place to live and work I've never been without work in this town being an automotive service tech I suspect I could be useful in any town however I chose this one. I like the muddy Maumee has always been my lifeline something about sticking my toes into that squishy green mud it feels like an old pair of comfortable sneakers you can't bear to get rid of. sitting on the banks listening to cklw as a boy some of the best memories I recall

I love Toledo, but unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately my dads job at the old O-I building sent us packing here to New Jersey and a new O-I.We lived many other places as well. A couple of foreign countries as well. Coming out of Ann Arbor 23 to 75 I love going by the hospital and seeing the "Toledo The Glass City" sign. I was born in that hospital in 1964. My mom is from Point Place way out Summit and my Dad grew up in the Polish Neighborhoods. 545 Earl St. Probably not even there anymore. My aunt still lives in Shoreland and I have a cousun on Majestic and many around LaGrange. Toledo is not what it was but I think it will make a comeback. I visit my dad in N.W. Michigan now and again but I always stay in Toledo one night to visit on the way out. We love the Lake Erie Perch fried up.I have great memories both living there and visiting there as a kid. I plan to go back when my husband retires. Jersey is too corrupt and expensive to live in anymore. But I'm also a South Jersey "Piney", too. Ha!

One thing to add about the Toledo-Michigan "war"... Michigan also owns a very small end of Point Place, obviously on our side of the river. That's why the bridge from Point Place to Michigan is a disaster. lol They are still fighting over who should fix that bridge because this small group of yacht club owners don't want to give up that land nor pay Ohio taxes.

Michigan and Ohio fought a (bloodless) war over Toledo and it’s port. The federal government eventually had to step in and award the UP to Michigan so that Ohio could keep it’s port.

It was a error by the Surveyor that plotted the Northern most boarder of Ohio, 1787, Congress drafted the Northwest Ordinance, which stipulated that 260,000 square miles of territory surrounding the Great Lakes would eventually be carved into a handful of new states. Specifically, the law decreed that the border between Ohio and Michigan was to run on “an east and west line drawn through the southerly bend or extreme of Lake Michigan” until it intersected with Lake Erie. There was just one problem: the best available maps depicted Lake Michigan’s southern tip as being several miles north of its true location. As a result, the original border placed the mouth of the Maumee River and the future city of Toledo in northern Ohio rather than in southern Michigan. Placing Vistula & Port Lawrence in Michigan. Oregon & Jerusalem Twp. back 200 years give or take were Ohio. But with Michigan getting Upper Peninsula from Wisconsin & Ohio getting the corrected boarder line of Ohio. Toledo was in Ohio. But Lost Peninsula is in Michigan & can not be reached from Michigan roads. Have to go through Ohio.

Nice job but I'm not sure thriving is the word I'd use. Things are getting cleaned up & renovated downtown but many of the neighborhoods are in really bad shape. The Great Rust Belt Recovery is a work (lots of work) in progress. As climate conditions in the South & West become more untenable, the Great Lakes area will come back but it will be very different than in the boom days of heavy industry.
