Just Right For My Needs

I just moved here from NYC. I see the other reviews and ok I kinda get it its full here. But Bill's are paid, I have own my home and when i need something i go to Krogers all WalMart. Its bland here and to me that's not such a bad thing. My friends call all the time hey we're going to visit what's their to do over there?, Toledo Zoo, MudHen Game, go downtown with the family by the river have a meal, theme park about an hour away. In NYC I walk with rats on my side coming with me to work, homeless (God Bless Their Souls) on the same street with me in front of a billion dollar condominium begging for change, rent for a Studio apartment in the 1,500s, bedbugs,Section 8 trolls, crime, garbage lined up in the streets every 2 days with such a pleasant smell, talk about exotic. Like the saying goes in NYC if you could make it here you could make it anywhere. Well being born and raised in The Bronx 25 years of my life I think i made it there and Toledo is going to be my anywhere. I'm happy to be in Toledo. Everyone so far gas been nice, if it's fake nice hey I'll take it but so far nice. Crime is what i see on the news but with a military base being miles away and factory workers and blue collar workers being your neighbors I dont think it flys to well next to your home and you dont say or do something about it. And I think someone breaking into homes in Toledo is horrible for the bad guys. Castle Doctrine state. Just like in NYC if you're part of crime and drugs that's why you see crime and drugs.
Toledo, you get a bad rep and I dont know why. But coming from where I'm from you're a breath of fresh air. It's not perfect but there's enough people here to fix the so called problems they complain about.
Cost of living is reasonable here. All the essentials are at great prices to maintain your family. Again ESSENTIALS so I know Toledo doesn't have the best lobster and ny steaks like the east coast lol. Toledo,Ohio you are kinda bland but that's ok. So far you're infrastructure has gave me and my family the tools we needed to purchase our first home, great hospitals and talented doctors to aid my wife in birthing my daughter, a responsive Police And Fire Department, libraries that when I driveby are full, and community events that help families get together (Promedica Christmas Tree Lighting, Toledo Zoo Christmas Lights)
Garbage is picked up in my Neighborhood every Tuesday. Thank you to the sanitation workers that get that done.
Toledo's not for everyone I guess. But to me if you want your own home, quiet place to raise your family, be able to defend your home with a low cost of living here it is.
