From the City Paper’s article: “Sure, you could buy a new place in some subdivision, or dig deep and look into Ottawa Hills. But how could you beat Toledo’s legendary and historic Victorian neighborhood, nestled just outside downtown? Not only are the buildings jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but you’ll be making your home among Toledo’s fun and vibrant bohemian community. And you’ll never forget the Festival!”
