[@robertowoodson4625]

I was about 8 yrs old according to this date. This looks like how I remember. Very cool seeing this.

[@Barbarra63297]

I was 33 when this was made, I sure do miss the old Toledo.

I was 6 in 1987! Living out Stickney. 🥰

I'm from Erie, PA. I've visited Toledo a bunch of times, and I really like the city. It's really cool to see what it used to look like.

Makes me nostalgic for the past - I would have been 9 years old when this aired. I miss old Toledo but interested to see what lies ahead for the future. Thanks WTOL for posting this. Any more from the archives?

I was 16 hanging out at Portside, Franklin Park, and Southwyck. Scott High School graduate!

I was 15 in 87. Toledo was more populated with the greater metropolitan area reaching close to 1 million. It's sad to see the major corporations leave.

I was 8. It’s how I remember my childhood. The old Plymouth Fury police cars, and even the highway systems (I-475 specifically and 75 to downtown) prior to them being revamped in the 2000’s

Old Toledo was so awesome. Very sad whats happened. Just keeps getting a little worse every so often. And now its littered with orange barrels 👎

[@barbararazza4583]

This city looks deserted now days

[@emtgirl777]

Downtown is hopping far more than it was in 1987 with the ballpark, Huntington Center, all the bars and restaurants, etc…there is almost always a ton going on!

[@aaronwozniak2583]

Downtown Toledo was a seedy hole in 1987. It was a great place from the 20’s thru the 60’s then when malls became popular it went downhill quick. Strip clubs, dive bars, the bag lady, hookers, etc. Downtown Toledo is exponentially nicer now than it’s ever been in my lifetime.
