Toledo has a thriving arts scene in all media, but has a special emphasis on both commercial and artistic glass. Its Museum of Art includes a world-renowned Glass Pavilion and major glass manufacturers employ many of the city’s populace.
Here's a local on the pros of living in Toledo:
*The local food scene in Toledo is TOP NOTCH. I haven't found food as good in any other city yet. And I've been to San Francisco, Boston, Toronto, and dozens of other places. Seriously, check out even the most in-the-wall places. People in Toledo know what dining and drinking is all about.
*- Toledo is a very progressive, liberal, blue city in a very mixed state.*
- The film/art scene is hot! Check out the art museum, film festivals, concerts, zombie walks, and lots of downtown events!
- You are literally 15 minutes away from Michigan and the highway will audibly let you know when you've crossed state lines. Ann Arbor and Detroit are in your backyard.
- Hockey is life. What's “"basketball?” Mudhens or bust.
- Be nice to everyone and you'll make tons of toledoean friends.
