Lost Toledo

Look back at some of the beloved places and landmarks in Toledo's past, from stores and stadiums to neighborhoods and nightclubs. Recall the birth of the Jeep, as well as unique shopping experiences at Tiedtke's, Lasalle's, Lamson's and Portside Festival Marketplace. Catch the action of a Toledo Mud Hens game at bygone ballpark Swayne Field. Watch the glittering marquees light up the downtown skyline once again with the names of performers ranging from Count Basie and Elvis Presley to B.B. King and KISS. Author David Yonke jogs fond memories in this nostalgic stroll through Toledo's heritage.
