Toledo’s a big town with a lot of friendly faces. Ever wonder what a walk in Ottawa Park, or throughout Downtown, is like for other residents? We’re stepping inside the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their glass city.
For Valentine’s Day, we’ve started off this new column with a highly-involved and kind young couple.
Amy: Age 31, Intervention Specialist at Autism Model School
Collin: Age 28, Box Office Manager at Toledo Opera
Toledoans since: July 2012
We go to the roof of the Lasalle Apartments for the best view in Toledo.
When out of towners visit us, we always take them to The Attic on Adams for the true Toledo vibe and to meet the best people in the city.
Suzanne Rorick (executive director of Toledo Opera) is the Toledoan we admire most.
The last store we went to is The Andersons.
The bar at Registry Bistro is our secret spot.
We always brag about Toledo’s affordability and beer selection.
If money wasn’t an object, we would eat at Kengo Sushi Yakitori every single night or buy even more art from local artists.
The artists and musicians we love are Josh Byers and Michelle Duni (artists) plus GoLab and Dooley Wilson (musicians)
The hardest thing about living in Toledo is seeing obvious problems that would require millions of dollars to fix (that we don’t have), but the best thing is the ease of making your voice heard and being involved with local issues.
When we are feeling a bit too much of Saturday night on a Sunday, we can always rely on Cock N Bull’s $3 Bloody Mary’s or Doc Watson’s breakfast to make our day better.
