So this was for my novel. But the Toledo book explains how Toledo went from being a major industrial city during the war, what it was in the 1980s, and how it set up for today. At one point Toledo was thinking it was going to be the next great American city. Why wasn’t it?
I'm definitely going to buy that one. Toledo has lived through the hits that Detroit has taken, but is definitely not what it could have been. Detroit is so sprawling it's almost like Toledo is a suburb.
Thanks! Yeah, I try to make the point that you can’t just study Detroit and Chicago and then claim to know the Midwestern experience. My hope is to push people to study more places. Now I just have to finish it 😂 😅
