Holy Toledo - "Can Ohio's big cities be saved?"

Sorry I could not resist the corny headline.  I did resist it on my other blog.  I posted an entry there today called Ohio Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.  My post on ColumbusBestBlog is about the Columbus Dispatch article today that focuses on Toledo Ohio.

Today is the 5th day of a Special Report Series in the Columbus Dispatch on the seven biggest cities in Ohio... The Dispatch did Cleveland on Monday, Dayton on  Tuesday, Akron on Wednesday... and today Toledo. 

Here's a link directly to On the brink: Toledo - Leaders say manufacturing remains the answer for city  in the Columbus Dispatch. 

Good news about Toledo that the Columbus Dispatch shared:

"Foreign Direct Investment, published by the Financial Times of London, named Toledo the "most business friendly" city in North America in its May edition."

Toledo has "low violent-crime rate and stable neighborhoods."

The investment by GM and Chrysler in their local plants. 

This Columbus Dispatch article was about jobs more than the others in the series. Toledo is a big union town from the sound of the article.
