As Cheese Days 2014 draws near I mark progress in Toledo's rise from the ashes of the Christmas Day fire 2010. Other towns might not survive the aftershock. It's not the first time.
Vision:Toledo posted their first report of a pulse in February 2011. My arrival in March marked a new start for me as well. From locally grown libations and comestibles to the art scene, recovering and emerging businesses, Toledo has the heart of a champion. Both of us appear to be making progress with support from our community. Thank you. Visit www.visiontoledo.org/welcome for calendar and review of recent events. Also see www.hometowndebate.com for Town Crier online.
