Toledo According To… Caylee Kirby

Years lived in Toledo: 5

Occupation: Anchor, WTOL-11

My short story: I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. After college I decided I wanted to move for journalism, and got a job in Michigan. I was there for about 11 months and then I moved to Toledo for my job at WTOL. I anchor the morning news, and have been for about a year. Before that, I was the weekend morning anchor, and before that I was a reporter. 

Read her specific answers below:

The local coffee shops and the Farmers’ Market are the places in Toledo I’m most proud of.

– The best meal I had in Toledo was the pasta at Calvino’s Toledo.

Lights Before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo is my favorite annual event.

– Two businesses Toledo needs (but doesn’t have) is a chain sub shop called Port of Subs and a chain coffee shop called Dutch Bros.

– My favorite piece of local art/architecture is the word signs like, “You Are Beautiful” at the docks.

– I’m at my most calm in Toledo when I’m at the Metroparks.

-The street I drive on/walk on most often is Central Avenue or Dorr Street.

– The best time I ever had in Toledo was at the German American Festival because I spent the whole night hanging out there with my coworkers.

– One thing I’ve always meant to do in Toledo, but haven’t, is visit all of our Metroparks.   

– If I could change one thing about Toledo, I would make it a little bit bigger.

– If Toledo had a new motto, it would be “Ope.”

– The best view in Toledo is the mayor’s office.

– When I’m away from Toledo, I can’t wait to have Star Diner when I get back.
