Toledo's not that bad, but it could be better.

I have lived in Toledo my whole life and am seeking to leave. The cost of living is decent, we have Wal-mart, Target, Meijer's, The Andersons, and other major chain stores, fast food restaurants are always just around the corner, and if you don't drive we have a fairly reliable public transportation system and we do have an airport, Greyhound station, and an Amtrak station. Toledo has a fair mixture of races and ethnicities so relations are better than other places. Toledo has its fair share of crime but we're nowhere nearly as bad as Los Angeles, New York City, or Detroit. Some areas in Toledo are decent and others you should stay away from at night, it's that simple. We have several libraries, fine restaurants, and a great zoo. The Maumee River runs through Toledo and it is filthy and it stinks because of all of the toxic wastes dumped into it. Our mayor is incompetant and has proven his dislike for our military recently by banning the marines from training in our downtown area. The job market is good providing you're okay with minimum to low wages. Our city government also wastes tax dollars on pointless projects.
