Toledo, Ohio Photo Tour (May 1, 2010): Part 3
Here's the third and final part of my Toledo trip from April 29-May 2, 2010, this has pictures from the Toledo Zoo, Old West Side and a few others.
Here are the links to the first two picture galleries of my tour, if you haven't seen them yet: Part 1: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1124853 Part 2: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1127929 Commemorative Plaque for the Toledo Zoo  Area around the Zoo... (just to give a sense of what the neighborhood looks like)   Front Gate to the Zoo...  Aquarium Building...  Fishes and other sea creatures...        Toledo Zoo Amphitheater, where concerts and exhibitions are held...  Park in the middle of the zoo...  Orangutans...    Greenhouse   Two Cheetahs, sleeping...  Toledo Science Center @ the Zoo...  Amazing Amphibians Exhibit  Frogs and Toads      Meerkats...  These guys have hard-nosed attitudes...  Elephants...    Hippos indoors, for now...   Reptilia Exhibit...  Turtles...  A "Golden" Frog...  An Alligator...  A reptile of some sort..  Snakes...    \Two birds recovering from accidents... in the Raptor barn...   Black Bear...  Penguins... not from Pittsburgh...   Aviary  Male Northern Red Cardinal     I didn't see one Mud Hen in the zoo, was a bit disappointed, but I guess it isn't really a ZOO animal...  Baboons...   Cool Fountain..  Toledo Skyline from the Zoo bridge...  Seal Underwater in the Arctic Exhibit...  Polar Bears   African Park Entrance  Giraffes...  Zebras...  I think these are Oxes...  American Bald Eagles...    That Eagle looked at me like, "What are doing in our country? Go back to your own land."  Back downtown I went... Close up of the Pizza Papalis restaurant...  AT&T and the new Table Forty...  Buildings around the stadium and warehouse district...     Perfect opportunity for Lofts...  An old building converted to lofts recently...   Toledo Fire Department Station 5  Buildings along Washington Street   Salvation Army...  Cute Little Playhouse, the Repertoir Theater  It looks a lot more livable than some cities...  Old Commercial block boarded up on Monroe St.  Backstreets...  Perfect opportunity for an auto business on Monroe Street   Toledo Museum of Art     Glenwood Lutheran Church  Old West Side Homes...     Henehan-Breynan House, built 1894        Old West Commons Park...  Murray-Willys House, built 1901        A manor-like place...             International Institute...     Libbey-Tschudy-Perkins House, built in 1885 for Edward Libbey, founder of Libbey Glass   Museum of Art Front Entrance...  Toledo Glass Pavilion   Downtown From Monroe Street  Tony Packo's at the Park (where I ate my supper)..  Inside...  The food was killer, a mean hot dog and potato skins, especially... also chili soup and fries...  I'll make it to the original Tony Packo's location next time... Hope you all enjoyed my tour of the GLASS CITY!

LOL. Were you the only person at the zoo?
 BTW, it's strange seeing the houses in the background of the elephent exhibit. It looks like they're literally twenty feet away.Great job.

That's how I got the idea of Tony Packo's when Jamie Farr talked about them on M*A*S*H. The hot dog is fabulous.

Another great thread! A few things...
1. I love the Toledo Zoo, I just got a membership there. I go there more often then the much closer Detroit Zoo. 2. Something has always drawn me to the Warehouse District. I would love to live in a loft there. I need to make it to the PizzaPapalis there as well as a Mud Hen game. |
