A suite deal for Secor?

At the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Superior Street, the owner of the Secor Building might be returning the building to its roots. The 10-story building, opened in 1908 as the Hotel Secor, was recently awarded $5 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits, which will help towards the $35.7 million needed to convert the building into a boutique hotel. Currently, the Secor Building houses offices, artist studios, River House Arts, AJ’s Archery, Registry Bistro and the Toledo Opera. If funded, plans for a luxury hotel would likely cause current tenants to relocate. —AC

NOW SERVING Smashing the stigma

According to statistics by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five adults experience mental illness— which means either you, or someone you know, carries the weight of mental health problems. Despite this prevalence, mental illness still carries a social stigma, which makes recognizing and accepting treatment more difficult. Join ProMedica and Harbor Behavioral Health to raise awareness and funds during Impact and INspire: Unmasking Mental Health. To help build awareness, purchase a Unmasking Mental Health t-shirt, designed by Jupmode, for $20. RSVP to christina.crites@ promedica.org by July 21. 5:30-7:30pm Thursday, July 28.

Delving into the deep Experience the world below

By Alison Wood-Osmun

or

Rainbow connections Passing the test in T-Town

By Johnny Hildo

This is a crucial moment in the history of our beloved Swamp.

The stars are beginning to align, and we have opportunities before us not seen in decades. Private investment is slowly realizing our potential for growth.

Major institutions are becoming engines of progress.

Downtown is in renaissance mode, as massive increases in folks living and working there are on the horizon. The momentum is snowballing into a true civic rebirth touching neighborhood after neighborhood.

The human and fiscal capital is returning. The energy is positive. Even local government seems to be slowly improving, a partner in some things forward thinking, and getting out of the way in others, There is only one thing that we still must ensure, one difficult question we still must ask. Do we truly love one another?

All you need is love

A couple years ago, Toledo officially became a Compassionate City. There were hoops to get through, culminating in a resolution from city guvmint declaring us as such.

But we all know a resolution does not compassion make. In order to succeed and thrive in this crucial moment of metamorphosis, we must be all in. All in together. As in, all of us, all in for us all.

Are we?

There is hate resounding across the U.S. It is manifest in overt acts of violence and cruel rhetoric targeting fellow human beings for who they love, where they come from, how or whether they worship, the pigmentation of their skin, the gender they choose to express.

Is Toledo immune?

We are at a significant cusp of progress. Will we instead get bogged down in mistrust, ill-will, and the shredding of the social fabric?

So far, we have avoided the kind of anti-police uprising seen elsewhere, just as we have avoided glaring instances of questionable police tactics. But rest assured, there is a seamy underbelly just

www.toledocitypaper.com

waiting to surface. Black folks are followed in stores simply for being Black.

Folks with Arab-sounding names are given hateful stares of suspicion simply for their ancestry. Fellow Toledoans with brown skin get their citizenship questioned simply because they look non-white.

And recently, a married same-sex couple was denied a birthday cake because the baker searched their social media, discovered their sexual orientation, and informed them cakes wouldn’t be forthcoming.

The outrage on social media was swift and relentless. Just as there was an outpouring of support for Orlando after the Pulse nightclub tragedy. Just as there was a great celebratory Love Fest at the Love Wall on Adams Street recently.

Aqua Hut owner and dive instructor, Jeff Davis stands in front of a clown fish mural in the building’s main room.

Down below

For over thirty years, the portal to underwater beauty and wonders has been housed in an unassuming building on Reynolds Road. Demonstrating that our experiences on this planet are not confined top side, but can expand to limitless underwater journeys, are Aqua Hut owners, father and son scuba diving duo, Jeff and Ian Davis.

Relaxed and easygoing, these avid divers/experienced instructors offer individual scuba lessons and group diving activities.

“You just don’t learn to dive with us; we take people on worldwide diving adventures that can expand your life,” says Jeff.

Students progress at their own pace, with one-on-one lessons conducted in the on-site pool before moving on to open water dives at White Star Quarry.

True to their generosity and enthusiasm for the sport, Jeff and Ian allowed us a test dive with a free introductory session before deciding whether to take lessons. Jeff sums it all up, “How do you know, if you don’t try, you may be missing the best adventures and discoveries of your life.”

For scuba and snorkeling gear, book a free introductory session or book individual and family diving lessons, fees, certifications and trips visit Aqua Hut, 243 N. Reynolds Rd. 419-531-4655. aqua-hut.com

Better together

It isn’t enough. As some great patriot once said, we must hang together, or we shall surely hang separately. We must celebrate our diversity and walk hand in hand into Toledo’s grand new day, or fall apart into divisiveness and failure. We must be all in.

Toledo has its own municipal antidiscrimination law that goes farther than state or federal law. It protects from discrimination on the basis of race and ancestry, but also on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. It likely protects from discrimination in purchasing a birthday cake. The City should investigate the cake incident and, if warranted, bring charges.

Vigils and festivals are great, for the like-minded. People who don’t get it must be shown the light, sometimes through the harsh lens of the law.

Better yet, though, it must come from the heart. For until we all get it, we can’t be the great city we could truly be.

We must love one another. Take some time right now for a simple, random act of kindness. Take time today for a gesture of goodwill, a leap of faith, a new understanding. We must be all in.

This is a crucial moment in the history of our beloved Swamp. Let’s make sure the haters don’t muck it up.

Top Side

Located a quick 25 minutes from Toledo, White Star Park features the 15 acre White Star Quarry which offers a scuba diving area with fifteen underwater diving ‘trails’ complete with submerged vessels. The eight hundred acre park also features six walking trails, a great family friendly swimming area, with a sun drenched sandy beach with trees and small pavilions to offer a shady respite, picnic and playground areas, a fishing dock, canoe/kayak launch as well as primitive and electric-access campsites, mountain bike trails and hunting.

Cullen Park provides Toledo boaters and fishermen direct access to Lake Erie with the new fishing dock.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE FOR BEST PLASTIC SURGEONS!

Six years ago, the marina at Point Place, Cullen Park, was a run-down afterthought. In disrepair and with a waterway few used, blight overshadowed its potential as Toledo’s only point of direct access to Lake Erie.

But Cullen Park’s turnaround has been dramatic. Boaters come in and out of the marina at all hours. Families come to fish, kayakers disembark from a recently-installed dock— even birding enthusiasts are attracted by Cullen’s variety of feathered visitors.

The change is breathtaking, and its impact on the Point Place community is being noticed. None of it would have happened without the group Visions of Cullen Park.

Pointing the way

tY Why Trus our Body to Anyone Else?

Arrowhead Plastic Surgeons NW Ohio’s Premier Cosmetic Surgeons

In early 2010, Vee Stader— a 55year resident and member of the Point Place Business Association— made the park her passion project.

“At our board meetings we talked a lot about, what can we do to get things going out here again and perk up the economy? At one of the board meetings, I suggested that we start with Cullen Park, because we have the yacht clubs, we have the golf courses, and it would be a natural migration to come down this way,” Stader said.

As chairman of a new group— Visions of Cullen Park— she began holding monthly meetings where ideas for revitalizing the near 60-yearold marina were discussed. Soon, Stader connected with Dale Rupert, a city engineer who had attempted a project which had recently been shelved, to dredge the Ottawa River.

“So I said, do you know what? I’m going to try and dredge Cullen Park,” Rupert said. “And I talked to my boss, and he says, ‘I go fishing out of there!

Absolutely!’”

Dredging up the past

Through the combined efforts of Rupert and the members of Visions, a $400,000 grant from Ohio Department of Natural Resources (combined with a $100,000 match by the City of Toledo) was secured to dredge an 80-foot area in Cullen Park’s waterway. The anchor that now sits by the park’s entrance was found during the process.

Numerous other improvements and additions to the park have been spearheaded by Visions members.

New benches and kiosks were added.

A long-closed toll booth at the entrance to the park was removed. The parking lot was resurfaced. A new, floating kayak dock and a fishing dock were built, giving kayakers and fishermen separate areas.

A personal project

“We received $2 million in grants— and that’s not counting other projects that we have done,” Stader said, referring to projects such as the kayaking dock, accomplished with donations and the labor of Visions member Bob Pulhaj.

“That was four months of my life building that, every day,” Pulhaj said.

“I’m retired, but I went back to work to do that, so to speak.”

Members of Visions, who still meet every month to address future renovations and upkeep of the park, say they can see the impact around their community.

“Business is improving up here, and I think this (the park) is the catalyst,” Rupert— now co-chair of Visions— said. “It’s amazing what a park can do.”

olin and I met while attending Denison University in Granville, Ohio and we became college sweethearts. We were both involved in the same activities and had the same friend circles— the rest is history. We decided to have our wedding take place in Toledo because this is his hometown (I grew up in Bulgaria and went to high school in Canton). It comes as no surprise that planning a wedding involves working with many vendors. Try to not get caught up and feel excessive stress about all the details, choices, opinions and options. We decided to use an event coordinator to oversee and to communicate with the various providers. Our trust in the process, and the people involved, allowed Colin and I to enjoy our wedding day.

Tiffany’s suggestions were spot on— I ended up choosing a wedding gown she had suggested. Being an out of state bride, Belle Amour did a fantastic job accommodating my schedule. Both Tiffany and Michelle were great to work with and I highly recommend the shop.

One of a kind stunning location to hold your fairytale Wedding Ceremony and Reception

“Your Wedding should be a fairytale that you could only dream of. The Toledo Country Club for one night transported us to our real life fairytale that we truly will never forget” Lauren & Bruce Douglas August 1, 2015

Wedding Planner Bee For the Day

844 Elm, Perrysburg. 419-270-4359. beefortheday.com Originally, I wasn’t sure if we needed a wedding planner. I was leaning on having one so my mom could enjoy herself and not worry about all the nuts and bolts of the day. After speaking with Brooke Lauber-Cobb and hearing about the services available at Bee For the Day, I knew we needed the bees. Brooke and her staff made sure our day went smoothly.

Danielle and Tiffany were very helpful making sure everything was taken care of, which allowed my mom, Travis and I to fully enjoy the night.

While we opted for a sheet cake instead of a huge wedding cake, we went to Cherry Lane and worked with Cindy to order a small cake to cut at the reception. She based the cake design on the embroidery in my wedding dress. Cindy also coordinated black and gold colors to go with the cake topper that I had previously purchased. She began sketching out the design while we met and I left our appointment knowing our cake would be beautiful— which it was.

She was extremely personable and she loves what she does. From engagement pictures to wedding photos— they are all amazing. Our wedding day was cold and rainy and I was concerned where we would be able to go for pictures. After talking with Gerri, I felt more at ease and had trust she would find the perfect place for pictures.

Taking the stage A guide to Toledo’s literary open mic nights

By Jeff McGinnis

Join us daily for Happy Hour 11am-6pm

For poets and writers, an essential part of fine-tuning their craft involves the support and guidance that comes from performance. And in a bustling artistic community like Toledo, that support can be found every week at open mic nights throughout the Glass City.

online group the Toledo Poetry Museum, and co-founder/editor of ToledoPoet.com, a site which provides a comprehensive list of open mic events. “I learned so much as a young poet, and of course, I continue to learn from watching more seasoned poets perform.”

Listen and learn

Don’t be afraid

THE ORIGINAL ®

“Open mic” is a catch-all term for an event that offers the opportunity to perform, usually for 5-10 minutes. Over the past few years locally, a myriad of options have become available for those looking to share their work, or simply to listen— and maybe learn from— other artists.

“The most important exposure for a poet is not performing, him or herself— as in self-promotion— but exposure [to] other poets,” said Kerry Trautman, Toledo area writer, co-founder of the

What should young artists do to overcome the inevitable jitters felt when taking the stage for the first time?

“The only way to overcome stage fright is to power through it,” Trautman said. “For many years my arms shook as I’d read. But audiences love a mic virgin, and will cheer you on and clap like crazy when you’re done.”

For a more subdued ambience The Spoken Word Trunk of Truth, Friday evenings, is hosted by native Chicago performer/poet ‘Stormi.’

6-10pm. The Trunk, 3353 Franklin Ave. For a more freewheeling atmosphere, it’s hard to beat the Glass City Open Mic, held every Saturday. Poets, musicians, prose writers and even comedians are welcome to take the stage at the new coffee shop.

It’s not just natural-born talent and hard-earned skill that sets an artist on a path for success, but often, it’s the experiences in an artist’s life that dictate their work. Such is the case for Camille Pissarro— often lauded as the Father of Impressionism— who grew up on the island of St. Thomas and was born to a Portuguese Jewish father and French mother. In “The Marriage of Opposites,” by Alice Hoffman, Pissarro’s fragrant, colorful youth in the Danish West Indies is told, as his parent’s curious connection, and forbidden love, unfolds.

Cutting Edge Theatre Company branches out From small beginnings to the big scene

By Kelsey Nevius

(L-R) Stephanie Dennehy, Melissa Toth (not pictured), Anne Clark and Courtney Gray are excited to bring Cutting Edge Theatre Company to the area.

As the story goes, greatness comes from small beginnings. Based on a dream and a passion for theater, Stephanie Dennehy, along with Anne Clark, Courtney Gray, and Melissa Toth, have launched the Cutting Edge Theatre Company.

Originally started in Ann Arbor, Dennehy moved the company to Sylvania, explaining that “Sylvania is just a really neat town with a homey feeling, and support and encouragement for the arts.

I think Cutting Edge Theatre Company could add so much to a town like that.”

A personal and professional touch

Though they’re looking forward to performances in Sylvania, they have already made a name for themselves in Ann Arbor. Focused on creating a personal experience for each viewer, their shows take on a unique perspective.

“There’s not a lot of focus on costuming or set design,” said Dennehy. “There’s more focus on the acting and actors. We have a smaller, intimate theater that seats 100 people, with a cast of 10 people or less.”

The Company also wants to share their love of theater, arranging performances targeted at the youth and deaf communities, with small classes and workshops to make viewers and participants feel comfortable.

“We’ve been working for a few months with Interlink, a Toledo Deaf Service Center, to create workshops for deaf people to enjoy and experience theater,” said Dennehy.

Building a theater family

Including the audience through proximity to the stage, the Company has a ‘big family’ feel. “There’s no one who isn’t important. All of our actors, actresses, and members bring different things to the table,” said Dennehy proudly. “We’ve been a nonprofit for 5 months and support ourselves through fundraisers.”

Taking over Toledo

Since the Company is supported by donations and investors, Cutting Edge is looking for opportunities to showcase their love of theater while raising money for their next production. Costs can approach $5,000 to produce a show. Cutting Edge makes appearances at Manhattan’s in Toledo and First Friday art events in Sylvania. Their upcomingevent,theJuly16thIndependence Day Extravaganza, is “all about meeting people. We’re announcing our new season schedule at the silent auction, and our acts and performances include myself and my husband, Joe Dennehy, Courtney Gray, Michael Spierman, Emma Koralewski, and Derrick Jordan,” said Dennehy.

“We are so thankful that Sarah Spierman, our Secretary and owner of Dermatology Associates, is letting us use her office space free of charge for the event.”

This fundraiser evening will include drinks and food, performances, a silent auction, and a special Friend of the Arts award created by a local artist, to be awarded annually.

Cutting Edge Theatre Company’s Independence Day Extravaganza, 6pm Saturday, July 16. $25/at the door, $50/for couples Dermatology Associates, 2nd floor, 12780 Roachton Rd. #1, Perrysburg.

By Michael Pierce All forms of advertising share a commonality: a call to action. When it comes to presidential campaign advertisements, the call is to decide on who will lead the country and set an example for nations around the world. It’s not a secret that political advertising relies on influences beyond logic; research has shown that playing with the viewer’s emotions is what really proves effective.

I Approve This Message: Decoding Political Ads is a non-partisan exhibit opening at the Toledo Museum of Art on July 14 that will run right up to election day on November 8. “The purpose is to unpack how these ads cause you to feel an emotion,” says Adam Levine, TMA’s assistant director and co-curator of this exhibit.

Tracing the Origins

The first nationally televised presidential campaign, Dwight Eisenhower’s infamous “I like Ike,” aired in 1952, the first campaign season where enough Americans owned a television set to effect the electorate with television advertising, making running a presi-

30

dential campaign ad a smart strategy.

“The most recent one (in this exhibit) is from the 2012 cycle. We’re avoiding any ads from the current election, in order to stay completely non-partisan,” says Levine, adding that the TMA has taken the extra step to “create a non-partisan advisory committee to advise us on the overall nature of the design of the exhibit, in order for us to verify that it truly is a non-partisan exhibit.”

Navigating politics

This is not a show about political parties or the issues they raise, but rather “it’s about how the ads work— they use imagery, but they also use sound to stir emotion,” explains Levine. The big takeaway with this exhibit is based on the TMA’s champion cause: increasing visual literacy— the ability to understand the meaning of both the images and the sounds, and the role that they play in forming an emotional response.

“The success of national presidential TV ads has to do with the ability of the ad to cause the viewer to feel a certain way,” Levine says. “Visitors will see that

Provoking voter fear’s of nuclear war, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 campaign appealed to emotion with the infamous, and effective, “Daisy Girl” political advertisement. some of the scenes— the iconography, the soundscapes— are similar regardless of political party.”

Gathering data

Research used in curating this exhibit comes from American National Election studies, a partnership between Stanford University and the University of Michigan (electionstudies.org). Their research suggests, as Levine points out: “People vote a particular way based on their emotions, and not on logic and reasoning.”

The hope is that people will walk away with the ability to make a more informed decision as we head into the current election cycle.

Going viral

One of the most stunning examples of presidential campaign ads causing a stir of emotions is Lyndon Johnson’s “Daisy Girl,” which aired once in 1964 and was subsequently pulled because it was so controversial. Levine explains that, “In this ad, a little girl is counting the petals on a daisy as she picks them off. The shot zooms in on her eye, and as she counts down, a mushroom cloud appears. It went viral before viral was even a thing and it only ran once.”

Coming out of their Shell

Lo-fi indie trio cites Art Brut and ‘80s post-punk influences

By Brittany Adams

(L-R) Sean Payne, Drake Gerber and Jacob Church create Shell, a lo-fi rock group.

Toledo’s music scene is small, and in order to survive, many musicians appear on the roster of more than one band. Glance at any show flyer or social media announcement and you’ll likely see players listed as “members of…”.

Without ties to previously established bands, Shell’s lo-fi surf-rock is a breath of fresh air.

Drake Gerber, Jacob Church, and Sean Payne, comprising the band, met through skateboarding, and have been playing music together for less than a year. Guitar player and vocalist, Gerber, explains their initial haste to get on stage, “We jammed like five times before we played a show. Our first show lasted only 20 minutes.”

In their own lane

“I don’t know how to write a song,” Gerber says earnestly. It’s true that Shell’s music doesn’t follow the versechorus-verse template, but that’s an advantage. Gerber draws less from other bands than other mediums entirely. “I’m an art student— I’m a 3D studies major.

When I try to write lyrics I think of Art Brut, you know, like Jean Dubuffet and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Really minimalistic.”

Prior to their recent appearances at Toledo house shows and on the back of a truck pulled through the Old West End Festival’s King Wamba Parade, the band had almost no experience with Toledo’s music scene. Payne, the band’s bassist, explains, “I’ve played music for a while, but just did basement recordings… Until we began playing together, I never really went to shows in Toledo.”

www.toledocitypaper.com

Hold on to your genre

Shell’s music defies easy classification. “I literally just tell people we’re ‘indie rock’ because I don’t know what else to say,” says Church. When asked to define their genre, it’s easier to explain what they’re not. “We don’t have any trumpets,” says Church. Payne clarifies further, “No 5-minute long guitar solos, either.”

When Gerber’s reverb-drenched vocals emerge, it’s too easy to draw comparisons to contemporary lo-fi bands like DIIV. Shell’s music is more powerful than languid, though. Punchy, insistent drumming by Church drives the songs forward. Some of their home-recorded tracks, like “Tom Clark”— a frenetic instrumental surf jam that clocks in under 2 minutes, invoke 90s surf revival bands like Satan’s Pilgrims.

The band’s individual influences range from classic rock to 80s favorites like The Cure and Talking Heads. Gerber says, “I’ve been getting a lot into Jesus and Mary Chain. Their song structures are sweet— they’re so simple, and they repeat a lot, and that’s what I feel like some of our songs are.”

Shell plan to record a tentatively selftitled EP with Steven Warstler from Secret Space this summer.

See Shell live as they open for Fat Possum Records’ psych-punks Sunflower Bean, 8pm Wednesday, July 27. $8 advance/$10 doors. Ottawa Tavern, 1817 Adams St. innovationconcerts.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Venus, the love planet, moves into your fifth house of love and luck. This happens on the 12th so take a chance and be a winner. Think of another trip. Don’t you ever stay home?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You may be thinking of remodeling or putting the place up for sale. You think of the pros and cons for both. The full moon on the 19th makes you think of travel again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are thinking of transportation. New car? Plane reservations? Plan another trip when the full moon shines on the 19th. After all, it is summer. And you should plan for the remainder of summer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You may come home and be ready to take off again. There is a parade or festival on the 16th where you pass out literature for your favorite candidate. The full moon on the 19th makes your partner make the rules. Following them is another subject.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

The full moon on the 19th shines on your good health. Take a trip and take your sunscreen with you. Happy Birthday to you on the 22nd. People adore you so you get lots of cards and gifts.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22)

On the 14th, Mercury moves into the fun sign of Leo, making you more spirited than ever. The full moon on the 19th shines in your 5th house of fun, games and gambling. If you are lucky, you can take the rest of the month off.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22)

On the 15th, Mercury moves into the fun sign of Leo. Paying attention to anything but love and fun is almost impossible. Don’t forget the bills keep rolling in no matter what the stars say.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)

Somebody has to pay the bills and it probably will be you. The full moon on the 19th shines where you think about a new car. Just remember to check your budget first.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20)

There is work to do on the 13th and 14th . This should be number 1 in your world. Starting the 18th, finish projects you began in February. The full moon on 19th puts you in the spotlight.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

Starting the 13th, money seems to flow into your bank accounts. The full moon on the 19th shines directly on you. Be on your best behavior because Big Brother will be watching you!

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)

Venus, the love planet, is in your 7th house so relationships flourish. Mercury follows it on the 13th so you talk about it easily. The full moon on the 19 is in your 12th house so you can’t talk about it anymore.

PISCES (February 19-March 20)

On the 13th, you feel terrific and enjoy better health, especially increased energy. The full moon on the 19th shines where you think about a new cell phone or a computer. You tend to “over think” before spending any money.

Carli Cavanaugh

Age: 29 Occupation: Stylist at Creative Headlines Inc. Style, more than just clothing and accessories, for Carli is an extension of creativity, blending the worlds of design and fashion. An avid artist, Carli has been painting and drawing, both commissioned and personal works, for years. As a hair stylist, she created original looks with her clippers and trimmers— undercuts. From geometric to organic, her experimental “hair art” is impressive and fun.

Musical guest, Eddie Money, was a highlight for this Fourth of July celebration.

Personal Style: Androgynous. I try to keep it simple. My wardrobe usually consists of

two or three colors (if black and grey count) and then I add an accent color— usually seasonal. I get obsessed with a certain hue and then I find myself gravitating towards clothing in that color— only to realize I’ve worn the same palette all week. When my closet seems too monochromatic, I try to introduce a new color into my life. My hairstyle often dictates my daily outfit. On curly days I like to wear button collared shirts, maybe with some faux specs. A textured pomp gets me pumped so I bust out my favorite grungy cut-off look.

Clothing Stores: I love hitting up the men’s clearance rack... TJ Maxx, Journey’s, Old Randy DeLuca Jr., Tony Pescara and Bret Reynolds

Navy, Rue 21.

Accessory: My backpack and a snapback (hat). A backpack is a great alternative to a purse. I’ll pack up my lunch, jacket, survival kit, and go.

What is an undercut? A section of hair is removed with clippers, then the area is cut in relief, exposing scalp and various lengths of hair to form images and designs.

Inspirations? There are so many amazing tattoo artists and master barbers! Rob Ferrel from San Antonio, Texas (@robtheoriginal) and Dennis Joseph from Rochester Hills, Michigan (@dennisjosephbabyliss) are amazing talents in the [hair styling] industry and I would love to be as capable as they are one day.

Antonio Villarreal & Tara Mohn

Dream Undercut: A full head piece. So many possibilities! A scenery, super modern, or recreating famous prints and paintings.

Toledo Landmarks: Living in the Old West End, we are so lucky to have the Toledo Museum of Art, amazing murals, and time captivating architecture within walking/ biking distance.
