About me: I grew up just outside Toledo, back when the Mud Hens were in Maumee. I studied at UT and witnessed firsthand as downtown Toledo became THE place to be. I find new reasons to love this city everyday. I'm thrilled to report on all the good news, good eats, and good music the Glass City has to offer.
