    • If you are willing to walk a little bit, Toledo has several interesting neighborhoods close to design that offer a wide variety of 19th century building types. These areas aren't particularly gentrified - there is a real mix of social and economic classes living in them. Toeldo isn't a "pretty place" - just a honest one.

    • Do you need to get back in touch - electronically - while you're travelling? Head over to Toledo's Public Library. It's a noble example of the genre. Many interesting details in and on the building, particularly the entrance lobby.

    • I guess you could describe the artistic style of these murals as "Soviet Heroic Realism" - except that they are in the heart of the heart of the USA. But really, these paintings are chariming in their own way. There's something fresh and innocent about these images that appeals to me. Very public-spirited.

    • Recently the Toledo Public Library opened a new building directly behind their depression-era headquarters. Linking the two buidlings is this striking and dramatic atrium. It seems like a great place to curl up with a good book.

    • A new acquistion at the Public Library is this striking glass "piece" by Washington State glass artist Dale Chihuly. Entirely appropriate for a place known as "Glass City USA". I appreciate the fact that Toledo is a city that cares enough to invest in its public library - or at least it did so relatively recently. Libraries can actually be important centers for the communities in which they reside!!!

     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!
