Born in Toledo 1957, and left in 1980. I've traveled much of the world but my heart and values are still with this city I love. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks for the memories.

I was born at Flower Hosp.1948 but left 1953-54 after parents divorce so only visited briefly through the years until I was with Dad in his final months of 2000. Very moving for me to see so many things through my father's eyes via your generosity.

Woah...After having grown up in Toledo, then moving to Southern California and living there for nearly 30 years, and then returning to Toledo this past November, this video totally brought back SO many things I'd forgotten! Not just a few long forgotten sites and landmarks, LOTS of them! I've been trying to find a photo of Kewpee's on-line, finally saw one in this montage. Many years ago I managed to save a piece of signage from the kid's play area from the Jesse James Drive-In when it was being torn down; wondered if anyone else but me cared about Toledo history. I was very, very, very moved by the whole video. Can't wait to share it with my elderly mom!! Thanks for bringing back great memories. Time marches on, doesn't it?

Sneak into Westwood theatre, Batters box trading cards, Hollywood Dream Factory, almost every store has arcade games, go down to Woodlawn Cemetery and explore, ride bikes everywhere, play Homerun Derby at Holy Cross or St.Catherine’s, North Towne Mall was the place to be all day Saturdays with the arcade and $1 dollar movies!

My parents went to Secor Cinema's when it opened. It was a formal attire venue and you would tour the Art gallery on the second floor prior to seeing a movie. I've seen dozens of movies there in the 80's and 90's and my sister worked there before they closed. What was annoying is that it was two separate buildings with no indoor access which meant if you went to the wrong building to see a movie you would have to go back outside and walk to the other end.

I believe the wrecked bridge and ship are when in April of 1957 the ship broke loose from its moorings and crashed into the Fasset Street Bridge. As I have been told by my grandmother and mother: My grandmother, my mother (8 years old) and her sister, my aunt Robin (10 months old) were driving over the bridge to pick up my grandfather, who was just off work from the old Toledo Terminal Railroad. Both my grandmother, and mother told me that they were half way over the bridge, or maybe a little more than half-way, when people got out of their cars and were waving frantically for my grandmother to speed up. She claimed that she didn't know why they were doing that, but after she was the last car over the bridge to Fasset St., she pulled over, got out of the car, and saw what was happening. I don't claim it as fact, merely the story I was told several times when I was a young man in the mid to late 1970's. If 100% accurate, and they had not made it across, and the car fell into the Maumee River on a cold April day, I assume all 3 would have died, which means I never would have been born. To me, personally, I find this story interesting. I hope that you did, too.

We have lots to do and see everytime we visit. From the Toledo Museum of Art, Maumee Bay State Park, Rosary Cathedral, Toledo Zoo, Mudhens Stadium, Sky Bridge, The Docks, Wildwood Park and the many other metroparks, Old West End Festival and the many others, UT Rockets, The Mighty Maumee River, Walleyes Hockey, many restored and preserved historic structures, tons of restaurants including unique classics like Tony Packos, Valentine Theatre, neighboring communities like Sylvania and Grand Rapids, there is always affordable housing, many good schools, and much more.

I was on a few bowling leagues at Miracle Lanes, I shopped at the Woolco's on the East Side, attended many events at the Toledo Sports Arena -even did overnight catfishing off the banks of the Maumee river behind the sports arena, I'm a cake decorator and purchased many of my supplies at that cake supply place on the East Side, as a kid and teenager many Friday and Saturday nights were spent at the Jessee James drive-in theater before the cinamas were built....tears rolling with the memories.

I lived in Toledo, Old Orchard, for six years earning a doctorate in history as an international student, being Canadian. When I started in 1997, it seemed much of the rust belt decline was already a done deal, so I never got to experience this nostalgic time when downtown Toledo wasn't a ghost town where the workers, however few, leave for elsewhere at the end of the day. When I would travel home to Toronto for holidays, I would take the Greyhound and it sometimes felt like one could fire a cannon downtown and not hit anyone. Thought it was fascinating that the city peaked in population among American cities in the 30th-40th largest range, over 300,000, then began a steady decline down to wherever it is now, maybe 70th to 80th with far less than 200,000. No regrets about living there however, and certainly none about my educational experience at UT, very lucky to have been a Rocket.

It's all gone. The best of times. It's amazing to look back and see what Toledo had to offer. I can't say that now. So sad. Goodbye, old friend.

Nice variety of photos. Some places still exist; many do not. Suggestion: please extend the duration of the photos by a few seconds - especially those with a lot of detail. Reduce the number of special effects or transitions between them. It takes away from the story. Thank you all the same for producing it.

If I had the money, I'd actually put up with the blight in some of the rest of Toledo, and buy property in the Old West End... I had friends of the family that resided there back when I lived in the nearby Detroit Area... Both their children were graduates of Scott HS...
