For the best view of Toledo drive over the I-280 bridge into downtown at night and can’t help being proud of our beautiful downtown.
Amelia and Steph Schnapp have been BFFs for over 20 years.
If money wasn’t an object, I would 1) open a bar/restaurant with my bestie Stephanie Schnapp. We would serve her visionary vegan cuisine with amazing local beers and hand crafted cocktails.
The hardest thing about living in Toledo is our crazy weather, but the best thing is that we can have fun in a snowstorm.

I was born and raised in The Old West End and am always so inspired by my neighbors, but I am so invested in our UpTown Neighborhood and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!
I wish 2) Thackeray's book store was still open. That store always made young people feel good about being curious.
Toledo’s motto should be “when you work together, anything is possible!”.
I always brag about how in Toledo you can make your dream come true.
I know the Original Sub Shop will satisfy my munchies.
Going to The Huntington Center makes me feel like I am out of town.
3) 419DAY! is my favorite annual event. It was created by friends who believe in the independent spirit of Toledo and reminds us that we have so many brilliant minds and entrepreneurs right here. Celebrating our local businesses and artists is so important to keep our city alive!
