And honestly, sometimes, if you stick your nose out the window, you can smell the filth of Detroit from Toledo.
With that said, the Toledo Zoo is probably a top 5 Zoo in the country. I like it better than Columbus' Zoo. Book it!
There isn't enough serious crime in Toledo to warrant calling it "a top 5 worst city in the country." Toledo has one of the best zoos and art museums in the world, as well as the largest collection of Victorian Era homes east of the Mississippi, and has almost zero traffic jams. That alone saves it. The downtown is actually starting to show signs of life after ~$200mil in public reinvestment. The vacancy rate of downtown Toledo apartments/condos is <5%. Not exactly the signs of a horribly miserable city.
They do have a long way to go in terms of attractions to become a reasonable success story though.
Lima, Canton, Akron, and Youngstown are all much, much worse than Toledo.
