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. |
|  | 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.) |
| | 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 | Carmanah Tue Apr 24, 2007 23:18 UTC
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! | davidtahd Sun Jan 21, 2007 14:31 UTC
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 | WILDEFLOWER Sat Mar 27, 2004 04:24 UTC
