Without the manufacturing jobs that employed thousands, the cities have become obsolete.

At least the ghetto's look better with a fresh coat of new snow!

@jimkinner

I agree, but damn does it look horrible when the spring thaw finally arrives!

Katie Holmes isn't from this part of town. LOL

She lived, and actually still owns houses in an area called Ottawa Hills, it's the exact opposite. Million dollar mansions there.

I really like the big blue house at 9:12

This is going to become even more common as we lose more and more blue collar jobs. Ask yourself, "Is the cheap walmart garbage worth what we're losing?"...... Form your own conslusions and then ACT on them. Vote as a producer instead of as a consumer and then, continue voting with your dollars. If we don't MAKE it here in America then don't buy it. Make these choices known to the companies who ship jobs overseas to the detriment of their customers (that's you and me)....

Building for lease. How about a head shop?

I live in toledo... its sad.... honestly sad. Need the 90's back

[GordonTurnerpark]

Well shoot. I know why all those houses are boarded up. There are no jobs in Toledo. I am fortunate to be working and I work in that area with some regularity. There are factories out there that look to have been abandoned for about 40 years. Toledo has been in decline for decades.

These homes were so majestic in their day! Too bad we can't look close enough and see all the good people that used to live there! I wish I had one of those homes on the lot I live now.
