Posted January 16, 201114 yr I went to Cleveland from July 14th-18th of last year and made a stop in Toledo on the first day. Here I took pictures of downtown, the East End, Birmingham (Hungarian neighborhood home to the original Tony Packo's), the Docks, and Main Street in East Toledo. PNC Bank Building (formerly National City) and the soon-to-be-renovated Fiberglass Tower. NOTE: they were just installing the new PNC logos on the top of the National City building the day I was here. Fifth Third Bank, KeyBank, and the old power plant PNC and Riverfront Apartments ToledoEdison and HRC ManorCare building Park Inn, I stayed here the last time I was in Toledo, which was only about 3 months and the staff remembered who I was! The ORIGINAL Tony Packo's Cafe, in the east Toledo Hungarian neighborhood of Birmingham Chili Cheese Fries and a M*O*A*D hot dog, BIG and good! BTW, these are not typical hot dogs, as I have learned, they are a Hungarian Sausage, very similar to a Polish Kielbasa Inside Tony Packo's... classic... Something the Original Tony Packo's is famous for is the autographed hot dog buns of celebrities who have eaten here in the past when touring and stopping in Toledo. Here's Jamie Farr, Toledo's most famous resident, played Max Klinger on M*A*S*H and made frequent mentions of this place on M*A*S*H, partially leading to its popularity... Alice Cooper The Temptations Sinbad and Howie Mandel, two comedians I have had the pleasure of seeing live Gordon Lightfoot and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith... Jerry Seinfeld, another comedian I have seen TWICE... See if you can find your favorite celebrity... St. Stephens Roman Catholic Church St. Stephens Catholic School, now home to the Eagle Academy Calvin Christ Church Nabisco Grain Elevators Glass City Skyway, this carries Interstate 280 over the Maumee River, connecting I-75 to the East end of Toledo and the Turnpike Toledo skyline from the Skyway bridge... Toledo really was/is a city of Industry as I see it in this shot... Historic Waite High School East Main Street has many nice commercial blocks including these... Sacred Heart Church Body of Christ Refuge Church The Docks, a neighborhood of restaurants/bars and recreation facilities on the east side of the Maumee River across from downtown Toledo Downtown Toledo from the Docks.. This property on Main St. was once where the Toledo Sports Arena stood... Toledo Night skyline shots... taken from the east side of the Maumee River... Hope you all enjoyed it. Coming soon... pictures of CLEVELAND!!!
January 16, 201114 yr Jamie Farr?? lol Although I would argue that Danny Thomas (born in Mich, raised in Toledo; father of Marlo) was Toledo's most famous resident (thought I doubt anyone under 50 remembers who he is). http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
January 16, 201114 yr Good tour. I look forward to going back there when the weather warms up; my most recent visit was on a bright and sunny but cold and windy November day.

He (Jamie Farr) certainly showed a lot more pride for his hometown, I believe. I never even knew Danny Thomas was from there. I thought he was from Chicago.
