I was born and raised in Toledo- moved to Michigan 30 years ago for husband’s job. It was a wonderful place to live and grow up back in my day. It was a strong Union-Democratic City with Champion Spark Plug, Dana, Jeep plants.

The big paper forever in Toledo is the Toledo Blade- which is the competitor for Toledo Free Press. Toledo Blade tended to be left leaning/Democrat swinging.

But it has gone the way of other Democratic run towns- poverty stricken, all the major plants closed down, unemployment, lot of gangs. Most of the once beautiful Malls have been closed or torn down. Only one remains.

I cold just cry when I got back for family events- everything is just so run-down.

Liberalism leads to ‘run-down’ just as sure as night follows day.

I lived in T-Town in the mid-late 70's, and it was entirely different back then, compared to now. Back then I sometimes went to Detroit for training, and what I saw and make note of today, is that what lots of Detroit looked like back then, much of Toledo looks like today. Deja Vu in reverse. Sad, indeed.
