We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Toledo's entire identity revolves around glass manufacturing and being a mid-sized city in Ohio that people confuse with a suburb of Detroit, which is like bragging about being the tallest kid in remedial math class. Your city's greatest culinary innovation is a Hungarian hot dog so famous that the restaurant lines its walls with signed buns.
Your claim to fame is a sitcom about the Korean War that kept name-dropping your hot dog joint, and you turned celebrity hot dog bun signing into your entire tourism strategy. Even your nuclear submarine's mess hall is named after Packo's, because apparently naval officers also have nothing better to talk about.
You're closer to Ann Arbor than to Columbus, so plenty of your residents root for Michigan over Ohio State, and you literally had a war with Michigan over which state gets stuck with you. Even your locals admit you 'maybe belong in Michigan' because you get no respect from the rest of Ohio.
You have 'rabid' pride in a minor league baseball team called the Mud Hens, and pretty much everything in Toledo revolves around them. Sure, the franchise has been around since 1883, but spending well over a century as a feeder team for somebody else's big league club isn't the flex you think it is.
