I'd post the picture of my friend and I with him if I knew how. He was kind of surprised by Michigan fans wanting to get a picture with him. Mostly OSU fans that had no clue who he was bothering him.

He's probably there taking one of the world famous glass factory tours.

That nickname is not recent and had been around before meth was around or was a problem. Toledo was a large glass manufacturer back in the day..... Libby, Owens Corning Illinois (fiberglass), etc.
I will admit...for as small and crappy of a town that Toledo is....they have a world class art museum, zoo, and metro park system. Nothing to scoff at for sure and gives many major cities a run for their money in those categories.

No...it's just stupid to assume anything.

And they have an awesome zoo, must have been there to see the penguin house....

Are you talking about the same Toledo that he's talking about?
As someone who was born and raised in THAT Toledo...and spent more years there while alive than not, the only "night life" are a few seedy bars by UT that change their names every few years, a couple of bowling alleys, and some pretty dangerous inner city "clubs" that tend to get closed by the city because of some shady things going down.
Yeah, little Detroit but far more boring.

Oh yeah, well since we're randomly dropping coach names, I saw Urban Meyer at the Phoenix Open pro-am today. He hit a mediocre short iron on the famous par 3 16th. I could not evaluate his coolness.

Curious as to why it was awesome to meet a position coach from Kentucky. He coached high school football at Springfield, in Holland, which could explain why he was in town. I know he has been linked to solid recruiting, but I never understood the infatuation with him. From what I've heard from local high school coaches that knew him, he was kind of a scum bag.
January 28th, 2015 at 8:48 PM ^
Also had UT ties too. I didn't know he coached at Springfield. My nephew went there and was playing football during that time period. Interesting.

Plus, Marrow initiated contact with Michigan and parlayed that into a raise with his current employer. He recruits but doesn't appear to do much coaching. UK's TEs were less productive than Michigan's.

Who knows, but if you're Tony himself, any time that your daughter can write a letter to Burt Reynolds and he shows up and signs a hot dog bun, you're probably doing something quite right. I do enjoy eating there whenever I take in a game at Fifth Third in the summer, although my wife is partial to the Spaghetti Warehouse up the street a bit.

nothing to do with this story but I was just wondering what happen with Marcus Lewis? I thought he was really into Michigan.

Thank you. I was just thinking with all these offers going out to CB and with his interest in Michigan that one of them offers would've been to him. I trust this coaching staff and if they don't see in him what they are looking for then that is that.
In Harbaugh we trust.

I keep waiting for someone to defend Toledo. If you know the place, it really has some terrific places to eat and drink. Yes, it's riddled with gangs, and has little charm if you don't know where to look. I've given tips to visitors over the years and they've had a good time in my stomping grounds

You mind sharing where these gems are located? I lived there for nearly 30 years and haven't yet regretted my move. The only reason I go back is because my immediate family is there and only are currently staying in the area until some financial situations work themselves out (properties) which will be in about 5 years or so.
I was bored as a teen and young adult there.... being older I can appreciate more but even still, I find myself wanting to leave ASAP after only a couple of days. Atmopshere and vibe is just so depressing...not to mention it's cloudy on average for 180 some days out of the year. We've been far pressed to find a good place to eat that isn't serving over priced frozen GFS products in small tiny portions.
The only thing I enjoy about "going home" is driving up to Ann Arbor. I love that.

I've been to all of those places. Visiting is one thing but living there is something else. A friend's family was going to the Detroit Autoshow for the first time and they asked about Toledo since they would be driving through. I told them the must sees are the zoo, the art museum and eating at Tony Packos. They loved it. As for someone who is living there..... those spots get old, real fast. El Caminos? Ehhh. If someone is in the mood for Mexican, I would suggest Ventura's next time. Better food and far better atmosphere ...especially with the storied history of the place.
Toledo has some great pizza places. Gino's... hmmmm. I am still trying to find a similar place outside of Toledo. No luck so far.

All of the Mancy's restaurants, Bluewater, Italian, the Steakhouse. And Shorty's is as good of a joint as you'll find anywhere, and I travel a ton. Nick and Jimmy's has a very creative unique bar menu, especially for breakfast. If you're the type, like me who avoids chains like BW3, and wouldn't be seen dead in Applebee's, there are plenty of private bars that are a good place to watch a game.
