Tower to be awoken...

It is with great enthusiasm to mention that the downtown Fiberglass Tower will start its revival as soon as next week. According to the story it looks to be the top 11 floors to get the fresh look and turned into 1 or 2 bedroom apartments. I've lived here in Toledo for the past 17 years and I always wondered why that building sat there empty. My wife (a life long Toledoan) informed me of the many reasons why it was vacant. On one of our walks through downtown we stopped by the tower where on Thursdays many food trucks come out and park along N. St. Clair street adjacent to the tower. While eating our food I noticed that the parking garage also owned by the Eydes had what looks to be retail spaces. My wife informed me that at one point those used to to have businesses and people would visit. Now the article and news release does not mention if they will be refinishing the retail spaces but it would add a whole new factor to the area. Especially with Promedica already underway with their construction of their new headquarters. A few retail/restaurants would be promising for the 600+ employees coming into downtown to work for Promedica. Exciting times ahead - so looking forward to seeing this completed. M.R.

Just UBERing...

Well today is the 9th of August 2016 - after being employed on and off for the last several months I took upon myself to apply and try out UBER. Its been about two months since I've been driving for Uber and I have to admit, Working on my own time feels great. Especially when I have some down time and all I have to do is simply turn the app on and BAM I'm on the clock. If something were to come up then I would simply log off and take care of any scenarios that might pop up. In the next few days I'm going to share some of the moments that I have experienced while driving for Uber. Some will be sad while others will be kind weird. So for now good night and talk to you tomorrow. MR

Can people understand the basics...

Here in Toledo there are a few people that can't seem to grasp the concept of trash delayed pick up. The city has been trying to save on spending too much money throughout the year, so they implemented the wait a week after the holiday pick up. What this means is that Toledo city officials have told certain sections of the city that if your trash pick up falls on a holiday that instead of paying the overtime cost to the workers on the following day to pick their trash as well as that day's pick up that it would make better dollar sense to have those affected hold their trash until the following week. Well a few of these folks decided to take the trash out anyways and leave it by the road. Here in Toledo the mayor has asked that when taking out the trash to be picked up the following day to please not bring it out too early the previous day. There is an ordinance that is filed that states if trash is brought out too early before your pick up or left out on the curb for too long you will be given a warning if it is not taken care of soon after then a ticket is handed that I believe is about $75.00. Listen people don't be morons on this issue, we have asked for the city to tighten their belts a bit so that we can meet the budget this year and here they are presenting a system that will save us $40,000 each holiday. Do the math if you have time and you'll see that this makes great sense.
