Politically driven / Fan driven...



Regardless to what the answer is the new Arena will be a sight that will have many embracing a new era. Toledo is way overdue for a project of this magnitude. This endeavor was first thought to be a politically driven project but after a few citizens were involved and their voices heard I can feel the two entities coming together on a common decision - Toledo needs a fresh start.
I have to admit that although I love to debate political issues with my wife, I didn't really care for politics before meeting her. I have her to thank for when it comes to my understanding of Toledo History and it's roots. This city is one for all of us to be proud of, especially when the Arena is just the beginning of what's to come in the near future. Politics will always peak it's head out but it's politics that we need in order to discuss what matters the most in any city "citizens".

Memorial Day Parade in Toledo...

The following video was created by my lovely wife. The photos were taken by me, my wife rounded them up and has done an excellent job of displaying them with two very fitting songs. I want to send out a special thank you to Mr. Jim Rose for his service, when watching the video he is the gentleman posing for me - this gentleman has truly opened my eyes on how some of our men and women were loved and honored in years past. My love and support goes out to him and his family. Enjoy the video and remember what Memorial Day really signifies.
