Testimonials
 
"I visited Toledo last weekend for a wedding. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the downtown area. I couldn't get over how clean the streets and sidewalks were. I live in Columbus, Indiana, an All-American city. We pride ourselves on our beautiful architecture and take great pride as well in how well our town appears to visitors. Toledo is one up on us in that regard. Congratulations for your city putting its best foot forward!"
 - Joseph B. Gill
 
"Thanks so much to the GTCVB for all of your help. We stayed at the Wyndham for two nights this past weekend. Perfect location for us. We spent a lot of time at the Taste of the Town which was right across the street for us. Enjoyed your great zoo and even made a trip to Tony Packo's. Everyone asked me, "Toledo, why are you going there"? We had a great time and have been telling everyone why THEY should go there also. We plan to come back every year during one of your downtown events!"
 - Joseph Burke
