T-Toledo, Ohio

 

When I told my hubby I was working on Toledo, Ohio he said ..."Holy Toledo!" ...well that sent me to google and here is wehre that saying came from.......
	"Most likely first used in the early 1900s, either refers to a sarcastic remark about Toledo, Ohio or originated from a realistic remark of the Holy city of Toledo, Spain. It is now used as a phrase, by Americans, if something is unbelievable, disturbing, or blows their mind."

 

 

Toledo has been known as the "Glass City" because of its long history of innovation in all aspects of the glass industry: windows, bottles and etc. and in fact glass made here was in the Twin Towers.

 In downtown Toledo you can visit the SS Willis B. Boyer Maritime Museum and experience this  fully restored ship that was first launched in 1911 as the "World's Largest Bulk Freighter" setting records for iron ore, coal and rye cargoes. See how it all worked nearly 100 years ago.
