PS. THE real END of Summer in Toledo

I HOPE I can AT LEAST get a ride of the Black Swamp Arts Festival- I LOVE THAT ONE!! I could walk to the Greek Festival, but it's too expensive to go in and pay again just to eat...There's not much else to do there, except drink Ouzo and watch Greek dancing. Not worth 8.50! (that's what the admission was in 2008! Then as soon as we got our food, it started pouring buckets and we couldn't get any of our edmission money back!)

What a trip~!

Many of the following entries are details of my East Toledo life.

Entries may include: Toledo events, what kind of life you might see in East ToledoToledo's own Katie Holmes(Cruise), Nascar, and my own bitching about not ever having any money, just so you know...

I was born and raised here in The East Toledo-Oregon, Ohio area, moved to Pensacola, Florida for 8 years,

got married and divorced, then, headed to California, searching for a better life and a JOB....

got as far as Tyler, Texas.....missed "home", and moved back up to TOLEDO.

Throughout my life, I've found that

Homes, neighborhoods, and the economic status stays pretty much the same.

Many of us are dissatisfied with where we live but many also can't afford to move.

It's not all bad, but sometimes not too good either, especially if you take into consideration

how HIGH our UTILITY RATES are here, and how few jobs are available.

Now many of our sewers need work...during the Summer of 2005, houses kept flooding, and mosquitos were at an all time high.

Most East Siders either went to school together, or had relatives or friends that did.

Usually, within naming off 5 people's names to a new person you are meeting from East Toledo,

you have said a name that someone's sister hung around around with, for example, or someone that you had dated.

If you are an "East Toledo chick" chances are very likely that you could end up dating, living with, or marrying

and possibly, divorcing, that "East Side type" of guy (whether he is actually from here or not).

Just because that's what you're used to.

Regardless of whether they were the kind of person you dreamed of ending up with or not.

So maybe some of you can relate to my bad choices!

In this blog, you will read about the happiness, heartache and survival of a "stuck in East Toledo" "East Sider".
