I always felt sorry for him. He really had no choice but to be a urologist.

How about the purple bag lady who was always downtown?

also... (sorry for the size, but only way for it to be somewhat readable)

This poster is hanging proudly in my wife's business office (which is also in Toledo).

you know you're from Toledo when a list shows up in the paper two weeks after everyone else has seen it.

I actually saw it months ago on facebook.

wow, my suggestion caught her eye!!!!!!!

If you were at "T Bones" listening to "Tomy O and the Ding Dongs" or "Johnny and the Hurricanes", driving through the White Hut on Monroe, having drinks at "Benny's", "Chief Tecumseh", "Colonial", "The Gardens" or "Sycamore Grove" in Lucky, Dancing at the "Peppermint Lounge" or "Faba", jumping off the cliff at "Centenial Quarry" or shopping at "Church's" for steaks or buying kegs at "Buckeye Brewing"

This one just occured to me on my drive home yesterday:

You know you're from Toledo if you've ever driven from Oregon to Florida through Texas in 45 minutes.

you know you're from Toledo when the mayor allows neo-nazis into town but not Marines.

I've never heard of Don's Frozen Custard but Cosmic Custard has opened in Toledo and it is great.

Leave it to a STRAT grad to mis-spell his own school

I kid, of course.

You've got a lot of familiar stuff on that list...
Kew Pee burgers...10 cent Tuesday!
Dad was a milk man (Babcock Dairy) for awhile
Grandma worked at Franklin's on Sylvania for many years
Start's Rexall...my doctor was Start's son, G.H. Start

The older I get the smaller the world becomes. It's that six degrees of separation thing.

I love Toledo. I lived away for 22 years (Rochester NY) while maintaining season tickets. When a transfer became available I snapped it up.

I believe that UT is on the verge of great things and will become increasingly important to the metro region based on the incubator programs and the ever increasing need for technical education.

I love my life here in Toledo.
