living in Toledo?

I thought Siberia with 7-Elevens was a Pete Gillen line about Lincoln, Neb. Did he steal it?

 

Used to string for The Blade when the Mud Hens came to town. Bob Kinney, who's no longer there, seemed like a great guy.

Not sure about the current administration, though.

 

My girlfriend through college lived in Perrysburg, and I spent a summer there. Perrysburg, Maumee and Sylvania were good places to settle down. Whoever mentioned Frickers ain't kidding. Best damn wings I've ever had.

 

Really good sports betting scene.

 

Yup, all three areas are great. In fact, Perrysburg is blowing up. Plenty of shopping and stuff to do.

Toledo isn't bad. The area around Fifth Third Field has good bars and the stadium itself is a good time. Maumee Bay is a good time and, hey, you're right on the lake. Summer is a good time.

As far as food, yup, Tony Packos is excellent as well as Mancy's Italian (by the mall, which has also grown). Oh and the Fricker's in Sylvania is a good time. Good crowd.

Toledo is an hour from Detroit/Windsor, 90 minutes from Cleveland and TWO hours from Columbus... not to mention, if you want to go out for a night of drinking, BGSU is 20 minutes south. Ay Ziggy Zoomba!

Sure, there are some bad areas, but the downtown is really improving (see: the Docks/near the Stadium) and it's actually not a bad little city. It's not all doom and gloom!

 

Wow, that's now saying much.

Used to live about an hour from there, avoided it like the plague. The only reason to go there was it was on the way to somewhere else. Bleak, nasty rust belt city whose time had passes. But it is an hour from Detroit and Ann Arbor, if that really does anythng for you.

Cleveland is about 125 mile way straight down the turnpike, Cedar Point about 55. And Lake Erie is great during the summer.

But, Packos is awesome. Get the hot dog and paprikash!
