About Toledo, OH

Located right on the shores of Lake Erie and just below the Michigan border, the town of Toledo, Ohio is still known to people from all over the world as the fictional home of Maxwell Klinger from the television show M*A*S*H. Klinger was convinced that Toledo was the best town in America, and while it may take you a bit to understand why he was so sure, Toledo will likely convince you it is a pretty nice place to live. Founded in 1794, the town of Toledo actually lost most of its population during the war of 1812 when Canadian soldiers came south and burned everything in sight. Later, the town was rebuilt and became one of the biggest glass manufacturing spots in the country. Today, Toledo is a growing city that takes a lot of pride in being a blue collar town that plays just as hard as it works. Renting out a Toledo apartment is a great way to learn everything there is to learn about this great town.

No discussion about things to do in Toledo is complete without mentioning the beloved Toledo Mud Hens. This minor league baseball team is affiliated with the Detroit Tigers and is the favorite pastime of the people of Toledo. Even Klinger was known to wear a Mud Hens hat on several episodes of M*A*S*H. But Toledo is known for more than just baseball. The Toledo Zoo is often ranked as one of the best in the country and is a must see for those folks visiting the city for the first time. The Toledo Museum of Art is also considered to be one of the best in the Midwest and often hosts traveling exhibits from all over the country and even from around the world.

Just like Max Klinger said, the best part about living in Toledo is the people. It is no secret that Toledo, much like its steel belt brethren Cleveland and Pittsburg, is a blue collar town. People here tend to know each other and are quick to offer a helping hand if people need it. It is this true spirit of community that draws people to Toledo and it is also what helps to keep people here, too. Other cities might be more beautiful, but Toledo is a true home for tens of thousands of people.
