Toledo
Now, I realise that the last post seemed a bit unfair, almost as if I was making Toledo out to be the world's shit-hole. I want to assure you that I wasn't (although many Americans would argue that its probably a fact). I just want to put things in perspective. The background that I gave you on Liverpool indicates that if it is possible to have a good time in Toledo, then I will find it.Toledo is the fourth most populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the County seat of Lucas County. The municipality is in northwest Ohio on the western end of Lake Erie, and borders the State of Michigan. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee river, originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory; then re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo war, when it was incorporated in Ohio. Toledo grew quickly as a result of the Miami and Erie canal and its position on the railway line between New York and Chicago. It has since become a city well known for its industry, particularly in glass and auto assembly (Jeep headquarters and related auto parts production), as well as for its art community, education, and local sports teams.
