On the Banks of the Maumee

by yooperprof - last update: May 1, 2003

Holy Toledo, Batman

In the bleak midwinter
If you like gritty industrial cities, then Toledo is the place for you. If you think that Cleveland has gotten too touristy over the last few years, then Toledo is the place for you. If you are looking for a quick getaway from Detroit, then Toledo is the place.
Parisian Toledo?

Toledo Treasures

But here's the rub - Toledo has one of the greatest art museums in North America. If there's only one thing you do in Toledo, it's gotta be a visit to this remarkable collection of masterpieces from every continent and every era. (This "piece" is actually from the acclaimed Paris Metro system. The designer Hector Guimard created this Art Nouveau classic in 1900, and it makes a whimsical addition to the Wells Sculpture Garden at the Museum.)
Red Bricks and Barley

Good Beer in Toledo

It makes sense that Toledo should have good beer - a gritty industrial city with a large central European population, located close to America's grain producing region. The Maumee Bay Brewing Co. is an excellent brewpub located close to downtown in a well-maintained complex that includes the Oliver Hotel.

 Very informative and entertaining commentary about Toledo.! I've had brief layovers in the airport (on my way to South Bend) -- but, unfortunately, did not have a chance to explore. But, ugh, Frank Gehry! (see the rant on my Düsseldorf page). Cheers, Bill

 What a hilarious introduction - great way to sell Toledo to tourists! You know, I've often heard of Toledo, Ohio, but never knew anything about it. Now I do. Sort of. Haha... thanks!

 Thanks for all the photos and great info. I am enjoying your international Travel Pages including a visitors view of my hometown of Toledo, OH. I would like to check out the MI UP some time. Take Care, Todd
