Road Blocks

Impediments to downtown redevelopment

by Johnny Hildo If you’ve lived in these froggy environs for ten years or more, it is unmistakable. Downtown is booming.

The last major redevelopment in Toledo downtown began in the early eighties. Owens Illinois built its world headquarters building, now the Fifth Third Bank building. Portside Festival Marketplace opened with quaint shops, and even a bar with a pool. Four Seagate was built, as were several other new buildings on Summit Street.

The new government center was completed, and the old federal building was demolished, allowing a view of the muddy Maumee. Skywalks were built to connect everything, including a new convention center.

Just for You!

Mon-Fri: 7:30am-1pm, Sat-Sun: Closed

Farmer’s Market Summer Hours: Sat. 8am-2pm

www.toledocitypaper.com

Then it slowly fell apart. Portside’s rents were too high, and one by one, the shops closed. The skywalks fell into disrepair. Owens Illinois was bought and split up, and eventually moved out of the building it had built. More and more businesses followed suit, moving out of the city into suburban industrial parks.

By the mid-nineties, downtown was a ghostly image of its heyday in the fifties.

Comeback kid

Then things started to turn around.

The county built a new stadium for the Mud Hens, and it became an immediate hit. The stadium slowly but surely spurred redevelopment of adjacent buildings, and now it is surrounded

by bars, restaurants, art studios and shops. The new hockey arena soon followed, ensuring downtown infusions of sports and music fans on a regular basis.

The big game changer, of course, was ProMedica’s move downtown. Long dormant spots on Summit are now awakening from their slumber. Redevelopment of buildings into residential space continues, with everything from market rate apartments to high end condos. Most are gobbled up even before they are completed. Thousands of people now live downtown, and thousands more want to.

There’s a new energy, from events at the revitalized Promenade Park to outdoor concerts at Hensville, There are pedicabs and barcycles, golf cart taxis and resurgent nightlife.

Uptown funk

Alas, not all is rosy. Here are some of the remaining problems to be tackled for downtown to truly be labeled a success.

1. Winners and losers. The county had a big hand in downtown’s resurgence by building the convention center, ball park, and arena. Unfortunately it found the space by dropping them in the middle of intersections, severing through streets. Most of the redevelopment is sequestered in the warehouse district and along Monroe Street, with a dab of Adams Street between 12th

and 21st thrown in. Everything else is spotty. Superior between Madison and Adams is attempting a comeback, and the redevelopment of the Tower on the Maumee will help, but until more redevelopment happens throughout downtown, the renaissance can’t be called an unqualified success.

2. Madison and Huron. The last corner with four intact high rises.

Two of which are owned by a notorious out of state scofflaw who refuses to do anything productive with them.

The third, the old Nasby Building, was recently purchased from the city by a group of investors for redevelopment.

Perhaps if that happens, the Nicholas and Spitzer will finally get the love they deserve. This would help problem #1 above, also.

3. Road construction. ‘Nuff said.

4. That giant sucking sound. As downtown redevelops, much of its growth is at the expense of surrounding suburbs and Toledo’s neighborhoods.

Moving pieces of the puzzle from the mall to Madison Ave doesn’t grow the region. We need to attract folks from elsewhere to grow the puzzle.

5. Uptown, downtown. We have to stop thinking of uptown as somehow distinct from downtown. Likewise the warehouse district. We need a comprehensive redevelopment strategy for all of the above. Outsiders don’t see the distinction, and we shouldn’t either.

Parochialism is death.

Nice Cloud Vapor Co. 3332 W. Laskey Rd. & 5318 Heatherdowns Blvd.

419-481-8151. nicecloudvapor.com 11am-7pm, Monday-Saturday. Noon-5pm, Sunday.

Since 2013, this locally owned vaping shop has used the motto “Fresh juice tastes better” to provide Toledoans the best of vaping. Not only does Nice Cloud make around 80 of their own juice flavors, with around 80 flavors, ranging from tobacco tastes to tea-inspired spices, they are the only e-juice manufacturer in Toledo registered with the FDA. Want to create your own clouds on the patio? Co-owner Bradley Everett offers some advice:

16

•

Most bars allow you to vape inside, and bar and restaurant patios rarely have rules against vaping, but it’s always best to check with the venue beforehand.

•

Pick a device, like the Suorin Drop or the ICare2, that will produce small vapor clouds. It’s less obnoxious.

•

Opt for flavors that will complement summer cocktails. We suggest: Cosmos, a sweet mix with melon and berry notes.

Cuban, an authentic tobacco taste with a hint of Cuban flair.

Peachy Keen, offering a fresh, juicy peach flavor.

Slush, which tastes like a blue raspberry slushie.

Tangelina, honeydew melon berry with a sweet lime finish.

El Camino

2500 Sylvania Rd., 419-472-0700. elcaminorealtoledo.com

This Sylvania Avenue hotspot is more than just a neighborhood favorite— it’s a destination patio perfect for the party atmosphere on warm summer nights.

A visit to Final Cut Steak and Seafood will prompt a return, and after adopting Hollywood Casino's proclivity for movie related naming, we must say "Thank goodness for sequels!"

Strolling through the casino to the restaurant, we couldn't resist a few pulls (or these days it would be pushes) on a dollar slot machine. The $5 bill we fed the machine disgorged $65 with a winning spin.

Happy with the hot streak and mindful of our time, we took the voucher and left the gaming area, regarding the win as a promise of the evening ahead.

Stairway to heaven

The top flight steakhouse, one of five restaurants within Toledo's Casino is elegant and inviting. Finished with beautiful woods and staffed with practiced servers, Final Cut is comfortable and genuine.

We began our meal with chilled shellfish selections, plump oysters and succulent shrimp, accompanied by both traditional and inventive sauces. The Popcorn Lobster, generous bits of lobster knuckle meat (knuckle meat? who knew?) lightly breaded and fried, served with caper berries, a taste of fennel and a tarragon aioli, was sweet and delicious.

The appetizers were followed by the chef's muse, a cheery sample often provided in high end dining establishments, which this night was a whitefish nugget atop a dollop of curried hummus served on a crisped potato slice; A refined and graceful touch which was a fitting introduction for our coming meal.

The friendly staff tended to our table attentively and with precision, but not too much. The sommelier assisted us with a wine selection, a nice bottle of Malbec which, because it was Wine Wednesday, was marked at 50% off the regular list price. The assistance of the wine profes-

May 23 • June 5

sional was welcoming and enthusiastic, mindful of our stated price range and never condescending.

Main course

An array of breads brought to our table included an asiago cheese and black pepper lavash, actually more of a crispy cracker than a bread, which is light and addictive.

We shared the Deconstructed Chopped Salad, small mounds of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, gathered on the plate around baby greens with crumbled bleu, perched on a spicy vinaigrette, all of which was refreshing and not overwhelming.

Several of our tablemates opted for the steak, choosing from purveyor options including Wagyu, Creekstone Farms Black Angus from Kansas, and Chicago's Allen Brothers, made available with a variety of expected accompaniments like sauteed onions or au poivre finish, and some, like the foie and herb butter I requested, rather unique. A member of our party ordered the scallops, encrusted in corn meal and served with an artichoke heart risotto garnished with watercress microgreens, and was pleased with the pairing of sweet seafood and savory starch.

We selected several sides, always too many, but it is more fun that way, we enjoyed the creamed spinach, the mac and cheese, interlaced with thick bits of bacon and blended with creamy cheese then crusted with breadcrumbs, and, what is a steak meal without a fully dressed baked potato.

Alas, when the house made desserts, were offered, per convention, at the end of the meal, which proved to be a trip too far.

The check was delivered with a right-sized chocolate fudge truffle, providing a sweet taste for the end of our meal.

Walking through the gaming areas after leaving the restaurant, we stopped only at the cashier's window to redeem our predinner, winning voucher, adding another bonus to our visit.

ON THE COVER

From Abba to Oz Adrian’s historic Croswell Opera House is one of our region’s treasures. Here’s a look at what’s coming up on the theater’s 2018 schedule.

Mamma Mia!

Barnum

June 15-17, June 22-24, June 29-July 1

August 10-12, August 16-19

The story: A young woman invites her mother’s ex-lovers to her wedding to find out which one is her birth father.

The story: After his museum burns down, legendary entertainer P.T. Barnum takes his show on the road.

Biggest reason to see it: Make that 23 reasons — 23 of Abba’s greatest hits, from “Dancing Queen” to “Waterloo,” woven into one highenergy dance party of a musical.

Biggest reason to see it: From acrobatics to aerial silks, the spectacle of Barnum is unmatched.

Something else to know: Since its opening in 1999, Mamma Mia! has been seen by over 60 million people in 53 countries.

Something else to know: Although it’s based on the same story, this isn’t The Greatest Showman. The musical Barnum, which features music by Cy Coleman, debuted on Broadway in 1980.

She Loves Me

Ragtime

Next to Normal

The Wizard of Oz

July 13-15, July 19-22

September 21-23, September 27-30

October 19-21, October 26-28

The story: Two lonelyhearts fall in love by mail, not realizing they work at the same store, where they are bitter rivals.

The story: Three groups of people — an upper-class suburban family, a father and daughter from Latvia, and an African-American community in Harlem — experience life in turn-ofthe-century America.

The story: A modern suburban family copes with a mother’s worsening bipolar disorder.

November 24-25, November 30-December 2, December 7-9

Biggest reason to see it: She Loves Me is charming, funny, and an undeniable Broadway classic. Also: Hometown favorite Shonn Wiley, who was in the original Chicago cast of Jersey Boys, is coming home to guest star in the show.

Something else to know: This musical helped inspire the Tom Hanks–Meg Ryan film You’ve Got Mail.

Biggest reason to see it: The spectacular Tony Award-winning score, backed by a 20-piece live orchestra.

Something else to know: Many real figures from history appear in the show, including anarchist Emma Goldman, escape artist Harry Houdini, and automotive tycoon Henry Ford.

HOW TO ORDER TICKETS

Tickets to most Croswell shows range from $15 to $35 and can be ordered by calling 517-264-SHOW or going to www.croswell.org.

Biggest reason to see it: This rock musical won critical praise not just for its brilliantly written music, but also for treating a difficult subject with both honesty and compassion.

Something else to know: Only eight musicals have ever won the Pulitzer Prize for drama. Next to Normal is one of them.

FILM NOTES

REEL APPEAL

Steal from the rich

For a story about self-help economic justice, the 1922 feature film Robin Hood was a serious investment. With a budget just shy of a million dollars, the film, starring Douglas Fairbanks, was pricey for Hollywood at that time, but became a box office success touted almost a century later. Watch the silent vigilante film, with the score performed live by organist Clark Wilson, during the TMA’s Sound of Silents screening. $5 for non-members, free for members. 7pm. Thursday, May 24. Toledo Museum of Art, 2445 Monroe St., 419-255-8000. Toledomuseum.org

Heeding the “Call”

A nature documentary at the Maumee Theatre

Flippant flop

To clean money and evade the IRS, don’t head to a laundromat. Rather oversell to uninformed investors then use the money to produce a play that’s sure to fail. But when the flop flips, and the play becomes a success, you end up with Mel Brooks’ The Producers, one of the most influential comedy films of all time. See the staged disaster that launched Brooks’ career when Fathom Events celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Producers. $7.50-$10.25.

Showtimes are 2pm and 7pm.

2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Ohio Scenic Rivers Program, a pioneering organization aimed at cleaning and maintaining waterways around the state. To commemorate the anniversary, the program is screening the 2012 documentary, Call of the Scenic River: An Ohio Journey.

A free public viewing of the film is being offered at the Maumee Indoor Theatre, Wednesday, May 30, at 7 pm.

“It’s a documentary that shows the work of multiple organizations, especially the Ohio Scenic Rivers Program, partnering with communities to preserve Ohio’s rivers and streams,” said Christina Kuchle, the program’s Northwest Scenic Region Manager.

Preserving waterways

“What’s really important about the documentary is that it has gorgeous footage of these very special river systems that we are working to conserve across the State of Ohio,” Kuchle said. “We have 14 rivers designated in our program.

The documentary presents these beautiful Ohio waterways and also discusses what government and non-profit institutions are doing to preserve these waterways. It’s an excellent way for people to become informed about this work and how they can become involved regarding local waterways.”

An infectious message

The film encourages and inspires its audiences to experience these beautiful natural resources first-hand, to (almost literally) dip their toes in, working toward conservation. “We’re excited to make sure that the message gets

From inside Siddhartha’s golden cage to creation stories and works of poetry recounting the beauty of birdsong, the songbird has sparked discussion for centuries. Consider the songbird’s message today in The Messenger, a 2005 nature documentary of the songbird’s struggle to survive in an ever-changing environment. 7pm. Friday, May 25.

The Massacre Returns

Despite its controversial subject matter, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has survived as one of America’s most well known horror films. Released in 1974, the film had a massive effect on the slasher genre. The antagonist, Leatherface, presented a new stereotype of silent killers, devoid of personality. With four sequels and three remakes, the film has proven itself a survivor. Join the CryptTeaze crew to relive this iconic masterpiece during a special, one night screening, featuring giveaways, vendors, and more. 7pm. Thursday, May 31.

Long Lasting Lips by out about how special the Maumee River is, and how we function with all of these partners. If anyone is interested in conservation, this provides an opportunity to get involved with the Scenic Rivers Program or our partner organizations.”

Kuchle has seen the impact that “Call of the Scenic River” has on audiences, and she is looking forward to seeing how the audience at the Maumee Indoor Theatre responds.

“A lot of folks want to get involved, to help with environmental work, but they just don’t know how to begin.

After the screening, they leave feeling very inspired and with an understanding of some specific ways to get involved. “The film and the message it conveys are infectious, in a positive way with a call to action.”

Classic Sweet Charity at The Rep

By Jeff McGinnis

Break a leg

(L-R) Erica Harmon, Christina Youngblood [back], Breah Duschl [middle], KC Lyphout [front], Tricia Kushen [center back], Katelyn Lesle [center, playing Charity], Brook Matthews [front], and Lydia Schafer [back].

One of the most enduring— and endearing— characters in musical history, her sweet disposition and eternal optimism has resonated with audiences for over 50 years. And soon, Charity will return to a Glass City stage.

The classic 1966 musical Sweet Charity— written by Neil Simon and originally directed and choreographed by the legendary Bob Fosse— will be staged at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, beginning June 1 for a three week run.

Eternal optimist

“Based on the story of a dancer for hire in a New York City ballroom,” explains director Debra Ross Calabrese, “she is the eternal optimist, looking at life with rose-colored glasses. All she wants is to be loved. She just has a problem picking the right people.”

The lead character’s feel-good nature (and memorable tunes such as “Big Spender” and “If My Friends Could See Me Now”) bolster Sweet Charity’s popularity and relevance long after other musicals of that era have faded from memory, according to Calabrese. “She really sort of reaches down to our soul, we just want have someone care about us, and care about someone in return.”

For Katelyn Leslie, the Rep production’s Charity, the role is a fit. Though she’d never seen the show before auditioning, when reading the script she found a number of connections with the character.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Ready to take a chance and get on stage?

First, you’ll have to pass an audition. Calm your nerves and get cold-reading ready with the Toledo Rep’s adult acting class, “Auditions!” This intensive, four-week focus on monologues, sides, and cold reads, teaching tips and techniques to make you stand out during auditions will be led by Fran Martone (pictured left), a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Ages 18+ only. Eight student limit, so register now. $100. 11am-1pm, Saturdays.

June 2-23. Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 10th St., 419-243-9277. Toledorep.org

“I am very much like her— I’m a little socially awkward, in an unashamed way.

I’m very extroverted, I love my friends, I love my family. I really am unapologetic about my positivity,” Leslie relates.

“She (Charity) doesn’t care what people think about her. She wants to be loved so much by anyone and everyone, but she’s not going to change who she is for that.”

Constant motion

The show relies on Leslie’s performance— her Charity rarely leaves the stage, except for intermission. Calabrese, who has worked with the cast since March preparing for the production, is impressed with how everything is coming together.

“It’s a great mix of actors, dancers, singers. It’s constantly moving— the show doesn’t stop, not for one second. We roll from one scene to the next,” Calabrese said.

The production will straddle the old and new schools of theater. Set in the 1960’s, with choreography that evokes classic Fosse, this production will present a few modern technical advances.

“I’m letting the audience use their imagination somewhat,” Calabrese said of the staging. “We’re going to be using projections, trying to really modernize the performance.”

But the draw of Sweet Charity, for audiences, will always be the lead character and the actress who plays her. “I hope the audience has as much fun as I do! Because (the role is) an absolute blast,” Leslie said.

June 1-17. 8pm, Thursdays-Saturdays.

2:30pm, Sundays. $25 for adults. $23 for seniors. $15 for students. $12 for children 13 and under.

For her newest installation, artist Gail Christofferson worked with over 200 members of the community to create more than 20 feet of panel covered with fractured glass.

Spending an afternoon with local artist Gail Christofferson in an oversized garage-turned-studio provides a visual buffet of glittering cut glass along with a pleasant earful of social awareness.

Enthusiastic and caring, Gail is a force of nature, a cool breeze of care to quell social misunderstanding.

Mosaic installation

Her latest project, a large-scale mosaic set to be installed in July at 411 N. Michigan Ave. in downtown Toledo, is a joint effort with A Renewed Mind, a local mental healthcare provider.

Funded by a grant through the Toledo Community Foundation and the David and Laura Lovell Group, the mosaic, “Pieces to Peace”—a decidedly appropriate title—has been in the works for the better part of a year.

The call for a community work to encourage conversation concerning the stigma associated with mental health disorders inspired Gail to establish the partnership and pursue the work with vigor. Considering mental health issues and their effects, including homelessness in the Toledo area, Gail and A Renewed Mind joined the two issues while concepting the artwork and the Toledo Community Foundation got involved.

The accepted design for the mosaic mural is a stylized map, working its way through the ramifications of mental health related outcomes which includes a tree, inferring room for growth and the search for health. Serendipitous to the message, is a mosaic repur-

posing fractured glass to form a new, whole, and complete image. The same can, and often does, happen with life.

Working as a community

The mosaic was created with more than 20 feet of panels laid out. With the assistance of Toledo Street newspaper vendors, large sheets of glass were broken into hundreds of thousands of pieces, all organized by color. As members of our community who are themselves homeless, the vendors’ work on the mosaic provided a paid job and another opportunity to give back.

Over 200 community members, from all demographic and social backgrounds, worked on the mosaic. Work stations were set up at the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, the Cherry Street Mission, YMCA Family House, and Tent City. After seven weeks, two sessions a week, utilizing a number of volunteers, the work is nearly complete.

The cathartic and therapeutic properties of working on a mosaic are vast.

Gail calls it being in the “the groove.”

The idea is that broken lives are universal. Death, divorce, addictions, mental deficiencies, homelessness— the list goes on— make up the drama of life.

To lay that drama to rest for a few moments, thoughts turn to, “Which piece can I get to fit into this spot?”

See where the pieces fit when the final installation of “Pieces to Peace” debuts at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Adams Street in early July.

When Linda Parra moved to Toledo in 2000, she didn’t find a single local Spanish radio station. That discovery informed her mission to start a station herself.

“I thought, ‘Something has to happen here,’” Parra said. After launching a radio show in 2005 at the University of Toledo, she also founded Nuestra Gente Community Projects, Inc. A 501(c)(3) organization, Nuestra Gente, which translates to “Our People,” provides healthcare services to Toledo’s Hispanic community, which according to the 2016 state census, comprises roughly 10 percent of Lucas County’s population.

More than 10 years in the making, WVZC-LP 96.5 FM Nuestra Gente went live at the end of 2017 and is now on the air 24/7. This long journey provided its share of obstacles and setbacks.

After receiving a permit from the FCC in 2015 which required that the station be operational by December 31, 2017, Parra and her colleagues needed roughly $30,000 to make the 24/7 Spanish radio station come together. After several fundraisers, time also became an obstacle.

“We’d planned to go on-air December 28 or 29th, but the weather was really bad. It was snowing when we were putting up the antenna,” Parra recalls. Lacking a radio inside the

May 23 • June 5

building, they couldn’t tell if the station was broadcasting, so Parra went out to her car to listen. “It was 2:59 p.m. [on December 30, one day before the permit would expire], the music came on.

We were on the air for the first time. I couldn’t believe it.”

Community support

In addition to Latin hits and favored music, 96.5 FM Nuestra Gente airs advertisements, local, national and international news, talk shows, and cultural programming in Spanish. So far, the response has been incredible, but the radio station is still looking to grow.

Backed by Parra’s organization, Nuestra Gente Community Projects, 96.5 FM Nuestra Gente will seek additional support during the 10th annual A Night with Nuestra Gente fundraiser on Wednesday, May 23. Attendees will enjoy dinner, dancing, raffles, door prizes, live music, and more, with all funds going towards 96.5 FM. “The radio station connects listeners in our community,” Parra said. “It’s something we’ve been waiting for for a long time and now it’s a reality.”

Girls on the Run of Northwest Ohio 5K

This annual race supported the nonprofit organization, which inspires girls to realize their limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

LeShon & Doug Gray (from Indiana).

Graphite Design + Build is the place in Toledo I’m most proud of. It represents people like me (artists) being able to do what they love for a living, and making beautiful things for Toledo while they’re at it. It’s pretty special that artists who are from here and who went to school here are the ones making exhibits for the zoo and playgrounds at the parks. Most midwest artists have had to leave the area to find work.

My friends are proving that we don’t need to do that.

The best meal I had in Toledo was the entire menu at Kengo.

Adrianne Shreve, Alejandra LaPoint, Itzel Krauss, Kristin Metzger and Lauren Scott.

Old West End Festival is my favorite annual event. This year will be my 6th festival and I’m still amazed by my neighborhood and our ability to throw a party.

My favorite piece of local art/ architecture is Beverly Pepper’s Major Ritual in Boeschenstein Park. The sculpture was recently moved to this prominent location downtown, where it looks stunning. It’s both apt and symbolic that a piece by a female artist has been given this recognition after being somewhere way less visible for almost 40 years.

The best ice cream in Toledo can be found at Lickety Split. This is more about their looks, since soft serve is soft serve. But I think they did a good job on the remodel. I was worried it would look less retro, but their new sign is great, and I love an ice cream cone on the first hot day of the year at one of their picnic tables.

The nearby city I love to hate on is Ann Arbor because it lacks grit. I thought I would go there all the time, but I’d much rather drive the hour to Detroit.

A business Toledo needs (but doesn’t have) is a great small music venue. I’m thinking of the Grog Shop in Cleveland, where I went to shows as a teenager, or newer spots like El Club in Detroit.

Both have solid and diverse lineups but inexpensive covers/ticket prices, a chill atmosphere and cheap drinks.

I’m at my most calm in Toledo when I’m running over bridges. This has something to do with my need to be near water, but everywhere I visit, I plan routes over bridges if possible. Lucky for me, there are three downtown.

The street I drive on/walk on most often is Monroe. All my running routes start by heading toward the water from the OWE.

need answers? get ‘em @ toledocitypaper.com www.toledocitypaper.com

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s possible you could pass for normal in the next three weeks; you might be able to fool a lot of people into thinking you’re an average, ordinary contributor to the dull routine. But it will be far healthier for your relationship with yourself if you don’t do such a thing. It will also be a gift to your less daring associates, who in my opinion would benefit from having to engage with your creative agitation and fertile chaos. So my advice is to reveal yourself as an imperfect work-in-progress who’s experimenting with novel approaches to the game of life. Recognize your rough and raw features as potential building blocks for future achievements.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Torah is a primary sacred text of the Jewish religion. It consists of exactly 304,805 letters. When specially trained scribes make handwritten copies for ritual purposes, they must not make a single error in their transcription.

The work may take as long as 18 months. Your attention to detail in the coming weeks doesn’t have to be quite so painstaking, Aries, but I hope you’ll make a strenuous effort to be as diligent as you can possibly be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Born under the sign of Taurus, Edmund Wilson was a renowned twentieth-century author and critic who wrote more than 30 books. He also served as editor for *Vanity Fair* and *The New Republic,* and influenced the work of at least seven major American novelists. When he was growing up, he spent most of his free time reading books: 16 hours a day during summer vacations. His parents, worried about his obsessive passion, bought him a baseball uniform, hoping to encourage him to diversify his interests. His response was to wear the uniform while reading books 16 hours a day. I trust you will be equally dedicated to your own holy cause or noble pursuit in the coming weeks, Taurus. You have cosmic clearance to be single-minded about doing what you love.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Paradise is scattered over the whole earth,� wrote the scientific poet Novalis, “and that is why it has become so unrecognizable.� Luckily for you, Cancerian, quite a few fragments of paradise are gathering in your vicinity. It’ll be like a big happy reunion of tiny miracles all coalescing to create a substantial dose of sublimity. Will you be ready to deal with this much radiance? Will you be receptive to so much relaxing freedom? I hope and pray you won’t make a cowardly retreat into the trendy cynicism that so many people mistake for intelligence. (Because in that case, paradise might remain invisible.) Here’s my judicious advice: Be insistent on pleasure! Be voracious for joy! Be focused on the quest for beautiful truths!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): These days, your friends and allies and loved ones want even more from you than they usually do. They crave more of your attention, more of your approval, more of your feedback. And that’s not all. Your friends and allies and loved ones also hope you will give more love to yourself.

They will be excited and they will feel blessed if you express an even bigger, brighter version of your big, bright soul. They will draw inspiration from your efforts to push harder and stronger to fulfill your purpose here on Planet Earth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of the advantages you get from reading my horoscopes is that I offer confidential information about the gods’ caprices and leanings. For example, I can tell you that Saturn -- also known as Father Time -- is now willing to allot you a more luxurious relationship with time than usual, on one condition: that you don’t squander the gift on trivial pursuits. So I encourage you to be discerning and disciplined about nourishing your soul’s craving for interesting freedom. If you demonstrate to Saturn how constructively you can use his blessing, he’ll be inclined to provide more dispensations in the future.

May 23 • June 5

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting *The Starry Night* hangs on a wall in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He created it in 1889 while living in a French asylum. Around that same time, 129 years ago, a sheepherder in Wyoming created a sourdough starter that is still fresh today. A cook named Lucille Clarke Dumbrill regularly pulls this frothy mass of yeast out of her refrigerator and uses it to make pancakes. In the coming weeks, Libra, I’d love to see you be equally resourceful in drawing on an old resource. The past will have offerings that could benefit your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love everyone twice as much and twice as purely as you ever have before. Your mental health requires it! Your future dreams demand it! And please especially intensify your love for people you allegedly already love but sometimes don’t treat as well as you could because you take them for granted. Keep this Bible verse in mind, as well: “Don’t neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.�

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After meditating on your astrological aspects for an hour, I dozed off. As I napped, I had a dream in which an androgynous angel came to me and said, “Please inform your Sagittarius readers that they should be callipygian in the next two weeks.� Taken back, my dreaming self said to the angel, “You mean ‘callipygian’ as in ‘having beautiful buttocks’?� “Yes, sir,� the angel replied. “Bootylicious. Bumtastic. Rumpalicious.� I was puzzled. “You mean like in a metaphorical way?� I asked. “You mean Sagittarians should somehow cultivate the symbolic equivalent of having beautiful buttocks?� “Yes,� the angel said. “Sagittarians should be elegantly well-grounded. Flaunt their exquisite foundation.

Get to the bottom of things with flair. Be sexy badasses as they focus on the basics.� “OK!� I said.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to discuss in elegant detail the semi-secret things that are rarely or never talked about. It’s also a perfect moment to bring deep feelings and brave tenderness into situations that have been suffering from half-truths and pretense. Be aggressively sensitive, my dear Capricorn. Take a bold stand in behalf of compassionate candor. And as you go about these holy tasks, be entertaining as well as profound. The cosmos has authorized you to be a winsome agent of change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his 1931 painting *The Persistence of Memory,* Salvador Dali shows three clocks that seem to be partially liquefied, as if in the process of melting. His biographer Meredith Etherington-Smith speculated that he was inspired to create this surrealistic scene when he saw a slab of warm Camembert cheese melting on a dinner table. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Aquarius. Be alert for creative inspiration that strikes you in the midst of seemingly mundane circumstances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “My whole life is messed up with people falling in love with me,� said Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. She spoke the truth. She inspired a lot of adoration, and it stirred up more chaos than she was capable of managing. Luckily, you will have fewer problems with the attention coming your way, Pisces. I bet you’ll be skilled at gathering the benefits and you’ll be unflummoxed by the pitfalls. But you’ll still have to work hard at these tasks. Here’s some help.

Tip #1: Stay in close touch with how you really feel about the people who express their interest in you. Tip #2: Don’t accept gifts with strings attached. Tip #3: Just because you’re honored or flattered that someone finds you attractive doesn’t mean you should unquestioningly blend your energies with them.

Preservation

This committee consists of district residents whose mission is to: safeguard and promote historic preservation within the Old West End; provide historic preservation leadership; to see that the Historic District Ordinance is adhered to within the district; improve rundown, derelict and abandoned properties; promote the enforcement of local laws regarding nuisance properties and negligent landlords; in view of future energy concerns, remain open to ideas regarding the use of new building materials, which will add to the lifespan and viability of these homes, provided they are approved by the Historic District Plan Commission; join with other local historic preservation groups to share ideas and provide a united front in the wake of urban renewal, urban blight and in-filling; extend an outreach to surrounding communities that might want to work with us to help renew their own communities; and provide information about historic preservation work being done in the Old West End and other parts of the city and region.

A great agent will not only get you over the finish line to the best of their ability, but they can also change your life for the better.

Proceeds from the O.W.E. Festival help support the following Old West End Association committees:

Neighborhood beautification and Improvement Grant (NB&I)

The purpose of the Annual Neighborhood Beautification and Improvement (NB&I) Grant program is to fund neighborhood projects that further the core values of The Old West End Association (OWEA)

Arboretum

The Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum is a serene two-acre garden spot located at the corner of Robinwood and Delaware Avenues, the former site of St. Lukes Hospital. It was named in honor of the late Agnes (Aggie) Reynolds Jackson in recognition of her years of devotion and hard work for the Old West End and Toledo. The support of Aggie’s family and the late Dr. Robert Jackson has been invaluable in the development of the Arboretum. In 1985, the Old West End Association acquired this land, once a neighborhood eyesore. It’s current beauty is due to the dedication and efforts of many Old West End residents. Trees, bushes and plantings are available for adoption as a memorial or honorarium for a friend or loved one. Commemorative Bricks are also available for purchase. Music in the Park is a musical series performed in the park’s gazebo throughout the summer. Other events include a Trade’n Post (flee market), Fall Movie Series, a Cookie Walk at the Tours de Noel Christmas Home Tours. Tax deductible donations are always welcome.

Education/Scholarship

The Education Committee of the Old West End Association provides opportunities for both children and adults to learn more about the cultural diversity of our neighborhood and supports our neighborhood’s educational institutions. Grants and volunteer help are available to assist educational institutions with programs and/or projects. Currently we have an Annual Scholarship Award for residents in the 43610 and 43620 zip code areas. Any school student is eligible with a 3.6 GPA. We also partnership with Scott High School with and annual endowment to support the arts.

Entrepreneurship

The Entrepreneurship Committee provides visibility for neighborhood businesses and OWE individuals to promote their business to the neighborhood by providing contact information and services.

A Jacob Gerold, Jennifer & Dana Richmond Home, 2725 Collingwood Blvd.

This Four-Square style home was built in 1897 from plans drawn by the architectural firm of Langdon & Hohly (per the 1907 City Directory).

This 5000 sq. ft., 6 bedroom & 5 bath home boasts the original paneled study, a parlor and butler’s pantry. The third floor was originally used as a ballroom. The property also has a decorative Carriage House that contains a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. In later years, Marie Griswold, who was one of Toledo’s first female police officers lived here. She later owned Griswold Realty.

Harold Arms David & Jennifer Hanson, 2371 Scottwood Ave. This impressive Chateauesque-style building has adorned Scottwood Ave. since 1907. Built for Aaron Chesbrough’s Miltimore Company, the Harold Arms was designed and crafted by Bernard Becker. One of the first examples of inner city multi-family living is this cluster of row houses. The lavish historical detail shown in this building is French Renaissance style. Of particular interest are the very decorative parapet dormers and arched sandstone porch entrance.

The Woolson-Brand Coachman’s House, 630 Floyd St. The architecture is a Shingled Clapboard style and was originally the Coachman’s house. We believe it was built around 1904 according to the Sanborn Fire Map but is rumored to be built as a playhouse in the late 1800s. Even from the outside, one is aware of the warmth and charm within.

The stained glass windows are the first to catch your eye, and as you begin to look around you will see the charming renovations and upgrades.

C

The David L. Stine Home, 2333 Scottwood Ave. David L. Stine, distinguished painter and dean of architects in Toledo, lived in this 2nd floor duplex until his death in 1941. He designed the Lucas County Courthouse, Scott High School and the Libbey House on Scottwood. This home, built in 1917, is an English Cottage Revival style. This home contains many charming details including a voice tube for visitors, leaded glass windows, door lock covers, bay windows and built-in bookcases in the living room. The exterior features considerable dimensional interest, with multiple rooflines and a “bump out” for the dining room. There is a cantilevered hoist at the rear of the house to lift heavy objects to the second floor. The front entry with its coffered barrel-vaulted ceiling is especially interesting.

was built in 1907 by famed architect George S. Mills. The exterior is a mix of Spanish Mission Revival and Arts and Crafts foursquare, adorned with original glass tile mosaics. The interior is a grand mansion with Mexican mahogany woodwork fusing the three styles of Colonial, Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau.

The mantels and stairwell display hand carved irises and tulips, rich with wood inlay reminiscent of Charles Voysey.
