Toledo, Ohio the Venice of the Midwest

Blade - Fight against blight needs fresh ideas - "City's abandonment, ugliness must be reversed"

Fresh idea: Toledo should transition toward being the Venice of the Midwest.

Douglas Rd near Laskey on June 25, 2014

2.20 inches of rain fell in 90-minutes over West Toledo this afternoon, swamping some roads, during rush hour traffic. With that much rain falling in such a short period of time, some street flooding is expected, I guess. Toledo Express Airport averages 3.57 inches of rainfall for the entire month of June.

For some reason, this stretch of Douglas Rd typically floods when we get a toad-strangler. It's located by the Douglas Square Apartments, north of Gracewood, and just south of Laskey. I heard that Sylvania Ave flooded by the Family Dollar store near Drummond, and that's also a usual flooded spot.

Today is June 25. Same thing happened six years ago today.

Toledo Talk - June 25, 2008 - Heavy rain and the usual street flooding

Douglas Rd near Laskey on June 25, 2008

Apparently, June is prime-time for this type of weather for Toledo.

Past Toledo Talk threads:

Douglas just south of Laskey on June 3, 2007

And sometimes in July.

Douglas just south of Laskey on July 14, 2006

That was a rough stretch from 2006 through 2008.
