The local artists I love are Erin Garber-Pearson, (1) Mr. Taylor, Isaac Klunk and Yusuf Lateef.
When out-of-towners visit us, I always take them on a mural tour.
If money wasn’t an object, I would have a winter home in a warmer climate.
(2) Rebecca Facey (co-founder of Independent Advocates and a Lucas County Prosecutor in the Domestic Violence division) is the Toledoan I most admire.
The hardest thing about living in Toledo is watching the amount of energy and resources spent on strategic plans, but the best thing is doing the work on the ground regardless.
I always brag about Toledo’s women business owners and leaders.
The first word that comes to mind about Toledo: exhausting.
Too many people think Toledo doesn’t have good parking but it’s wrong because there is tons of parking downtown. Free and within a few blocks or less from your destination.
My favorite night out in Toledo is (3) Wesley’s on a Friday.
If I need to buy a present for a special occasion, I know Handmade Toledo will hook me up with a great gift.
The street I drive/walk on most often is Adams St.
I know Kyoto Ka will satisfy my munchies.
The Toledo Museum of Art’s Block Party is my favorite annual event.
My favorite neighborhood is The Old West End.
I wish Rusty’s Jazz Cafe was still open.
Toledo’s motto should be "If you love Toledo, it will love you back.”
Toledo’s theme song should be “Don’t Give Up” by Peter Gabriel.
