I was born and raised in Toledo. It was an awesome city at one time growing up. Toledo factories produced three of the best-known products on the planet: Jeep, Toledo Scales, and Champion Spark Plugs. Only Jeep remains here. Dana Corp moved outside of the city, LOF in Rossford, etc.
It died in the 80’s due to white flight and lack of investors in the downtown and city. They started bussing ghetto folks into the malls. 4 big Malls now down to one- closed, demolished, gone.
I remember downtown with all the stores to go shopping, now closed. I remember party in the park on the Maumee River. All gone.
I cry when I go there to visit a few family members. I grew up in South end and it’s just now like mini-Detroit and hundreds of gangs control that area.
That sad story could describe most of America’s cities over the past 20 years. I blame NAFTA and Bill Clinton and I think Donald J. Trump is the only man that roll back all this “progress” that the dems are so proud of.
