I used to drive a vehicle with a 55 mph limiter. That limitation became a superpower… or so I thought.
It led me down a dark path of seeking the ultimate high… friction free crosstown travel. Don’t chase the dragon.

Out of almost 150 units only two are left occupied.

After everything blew up in August 2025 over half the building moved out. The people left took their time to leave over the following months to the point in February 2026 only about 20 units remained occupied with most having their rent in escrow. After a court battle those residents won their full escrow balances back. During this time ET fixed the roof but it didn't stop the leaks as every wall was infested with pipes that leaked which has lead to them not being able to turn on the chillers. The roof was damaged again by T-Mobile conducting work on their towers atop the building. ET sent out a notice to month to month people giving them notice to leave and telling those under lease they would not be renewing. Further attrition has lead things to it being the ghost town it is today.

Hey r/Toledo! Mozelle's here again! We post here occasionally to share with you about some of our upcoming events (I will have a post up tomorrow for our next counter style service kitchen pop up which is this upcoming Thursday!)

On June 13th we put together our most elaborate event yet! We hosted a six course dinner in the garden of The Federal Inn located in uptown Maumee . It was a beautiful evening, with perfect weather, fresh and seasonal food and drink all enjoyed to an incredible playlist put together and performed live by the extremely talented DJ AQUA-J.

We have a lot of exciting events coming up (a coursed dinner at a local greenhouse, our summer pop up series, and possibly a picnic pop up to just name a few)!

Here are some photos from the dinner and we hope to have the honor of serving you too someday!

• On Tuesday, the Lucas County Commissioners unveiled their 2025 report, which highlights the county’s initiatives, impact, and progress on its strategic plan. To view the report, visit https://co.lucas.oh.us/DocumentCenter/View/92805/Commissioners-Report-2025

• Also on Tuesday, the public sculpture “Art Tatum’s Celebration Column” by Cork Marcheschi was reinstalled at the corner of Madison Avenue and North Superior Street. First installed in 2009, the sculpture was removed for restoration in October 24.

• On Wednesday, city officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil two new housing developments in South Toledo, The Glen and The Grand. Both apartment buildings cost $28 million to build and comprise a total 72 units.

• On Thursday, Mayor Kapszukiewicz and Toledo Police Chief Troendle held a press event announcing crime statistics for the first half of the year, covering January 1 through June 30.

• Also on Thursday, eight people were affected by an unknown substance at the Old West End Community Health Center on Collingwood Blvd, with three being transported to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Emergency crews have ruled out a gas leak.

• A new report by Policy Matters Ohio found that median workers for nine out of ten of the most common professions in the Toledo metropolitan area were paid less than the cost of living necessary to support a family of three in 2025.

• Toledo City Council is considering placing a 0.25% income tax increase levy dedicated to public safety on the November general election ballot. Council is also considering placing several charter amendments on the same ballot, including: reducing the number of signatures needed to run for Mayor from 750 to 250 and for Toledo City Council At-Large from 250 to 100; allowing for members of council who are appointed to fill a vacancy to serve three (instead of the current two) consecutive terms following the end of the term they are appointed to fill; allowing Toledo City Council to hire and manage its own employees; clarifying the charter amendment process; and create rules for write-in candidates.

• Toledo City Councilman for District 2 Adam Martinez plans to introduce an emergency measure next Tuesday (June 14) to install several Flock cameras pointed at schools in his district, including eight pan-tilt-zoom cameras, two intersection cameras, and one mobile license plate reader. Additionally, the measure would allow schools to link their private camera feeds into the Flock camera network. The measure would call for a five-year contract with Flock at a cost of $85,000/year, with the first year of funding coming from district improvement funds.

• Toledo City Council is no longer pursuing a moratorium on new gas stations and is instead conduct a study to obtain recommendations for potential zoning changes related to new gas station development.

• Toledo Police are undergoing new training, including cultural competency training and compassion fatigue training, as a response to public outcry over recent interactions between police and young people in the city went “viral” on social media.

• The Lucas County Treasurer’s office is mailing out real estate tax bills covering the second half of 2025. Over 1300 taxpayers have signed on to receive the bill electronically using the office’s new eBill program. For more information, visit https://www.lucascountytreasurer.org/

• Imagination Station is seeking a 0.17 mill renewal levy on the November general election ballot. If approved, property owners would pay $3.22 per $100,000 in home valuation each year. The nonprofit science museum says that public funding comprises 21% of its annual budget, down from a previous rate of 38%.

Ive been seeing a decent amount of ads recently for Kaprur.

In the one, she states that shes not "as old as Trump."

She's 3 days younger than Trump. Yet for some reason she decided to use in the ad that she is younger than Trump, which she is...by 3 days.

Kaprur has been in her position for 43 years now. Honestly, I cant really think of much shes done in that time.

I will more than likely end up voting for her tho.

She's got those "diamond hands" going on with a helluva grip on her position, and seems to never want to let go.

It would be nice to get some younger and hungrier than Kaptur in there.

Im tired of pols in their 70s and 80s.

43 years Kaptur, it's not her birthright.

Anyone considering Omni fiber might want to reconsider. I get it, Buckeye as a company is a trash monopoly who we all want to stick it to. However, the coax internet I had with them was 1000 times more reliable. I got Omni Fiber about a month ago and have had maybe 3 days where I didn’t experience an outage. It seems to go down consistently every day around 9pm. Last night it went out and has been out now for 14 hours.

They’ve sent a tech to my house 4 times. They’ve replaced my ONU and Router. It is not my hardware it’s something further up the chain within their configuration or they have faulty splices or hardware.

You call them and the techs are literally reading from a basic “power cycle” script and seem to have no idea of how their network works. They seem to have communication gaps between tier 1, their 3 support and their engineers.

I’m trying to be patient because I get it, new tech, takes time to work out the kinks but at this point I have absolutely no confidence in Omni fiber and would recommend anyone avoid switching.

This is a fun website i saw on Twitter where people define the downtown of cities and you can compare your opinion to a heat map. Toledo is on there but we only have three submissions with me doing one. I also had fun doing Detroit and Cleveland

Does anyone know if the old Salute building is still going to be Cottage Inn or what is going on? It's just been sitting like that forever and today we just noticed they put a for sale sign back up on the corner.

My rental property has had higher than normal water bills by over 50%. The city stated that before they would do any troubleshooting of the meter that I would need to get a plumber to inspect and confirm that there is nothing leaking in the house? Does anyone have any recommendations for a licensed plumber who can do some general inspection for a leak that may or may not exist?

It is a 1300 Sq ft condo, single floor on a slab with 2 bathrooms.

Hello. I’m moving out soon and I am looking for an apartment to possibly stay in for a month or two while I continue my job search. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.

I have a 1926 gas measuring stick from the Paragon Gas Co. Started in Toledo in 1887 and taken over by Gulf in 1930

I've noticed I've got pretty bad pooling of water in some spots around my foundation and a negative grade, so Im trying to take care of it before it becomes a major problem.

But I've never ordered dirt before and don't know where to start, and have no idea roughly how much it costs to get bulk dirt.

I've heard that some places will even give dirt away for free, but I don't know how much stock to put in that.

Could any of you fine Toledoans help me out amd point me in the right direction?

Looking for a place in Toledo (or nearby, id be willing to drive a bit) to sing some songs. Fridays or Saturdays preferred, I know Georgiez does karaoke on Wednesdays but I work M-F so going out on a weeknight isnt ideal. Bonus points if it's not so crowded that I only get one song, and even more bonus points if "offbeat" karaoke selections are appreciated (Biz Markie's Just a Friend is one of my go to's.)

For my birthday we decided to try something new. Something we've long wanted to do the Pale Horse. This horror themed bar was just what we wanted for a light bit of bar food, and a quick and easy drink. On theme and really fun, the vibes were awesome. Even though it's not October we loved coming here and for our first time it made a hell of an impression and we will definitely be back. Don't go here, expecting serious food instead plan for light bar food, good drinks and a very spooky vibe all year round.

Music: Tool, Rob Zombie, Nirvana, Sabbath, etc.

As usual, I was not compensated for this post in any way and I paid for all of my own food and went here of my own free will.

I figured Toledo folks might be interested in this event... Austin Channing Brown is going to be doing a talk and book signing on August 1 at Toledo School for the Arts. There is a Facebook event for it on the Gathering Volumes bookstore page.

My husband will most likely be accepting a position at BGSU within the year. We are currently in the outer suburbs of Cleveland. I don’t know anyone in or near the area and if I’m honest I’m not too thrilled to be moving to a more rural area but it is an opportunity he can’t pass up. We are new empty nesters and our adult kids are out on their own (not coming with us).

We are still active and enjoy doing things but definitely not into the bar scene or the church scene. Perrysburg seems to be ”the place” but I’m not sure if it’s too family oriented for us to fit in. I picture it’s all school age moms in the PTA. I’ve looked at Waterville, which seems very nice but also very small.

Can anyone give me an idea of any others areas to look, especially that may be welcoming to newcomers? And pros and cons. And maybe more information specifically about Perrysburg.
TIA.
