Coach Harbaugh getting key to city of Toledo.
“The legal system is one of the pillars of freedom we have in our country,” Harbaugh told The Blade. “It should be like the postal system. Everyone should have access. There's a post office in every town, no matter where it is, how big or how small. There should be a way for people to understand how to fill out paperwork, have their case heard, and be represented through our legal system. That's really all anyone has to turn to during a dispute to get a fair resolution.
“A fee to go to court and fines — if you don’t have the money to pay the fine, it doubles and triples and prevents someone from having a job. Where does that leave the legal system to where it can be fair and not predicated on, do you have or money or not? If you do, you can afford an attorney. If you don’t, you can’t. The access to justice should not be predicated on having means. There’s a flaw in the system.”

this is why he is the right man for Michigan - he gets it, he gets life, he gets his role in young people's lives - taking kids abroad, standing up for their rights, etc. being a college coach is about coaching young people up in life as well as most players aren't going pro
Wake me up when he gets a key to the city of Columbus.
Now get off my lawn!

I have lived here for over 40 years. There are lots of great UM fans here and of course the OSU fans are the same everywhere. Need I say more.
I agree with dUMchick77 that the Metroparks are great with two new ones just up and going one onthe river downtown and another in the Marshes east of twon which are getting international attendtion from the birders for the species they see every May and October during migration as the birds rest up there before taking on Lake Erie. There are a variety of rare environmental layers in Nw Ohio that are unique such as the Oak Openings park that is only and hour south of A2. The metroparks levy always passes and they do great things with our tax dollars.
The Zoo is rated one of the best of its size in the counntry and well worth the trip to Toledo if you have kids. Hippos and Polar bears and Gorillas and Orangs right next to you through glass.
The Art Museum is great and most beautiful buildings for 200 miles around. The glass art has its own glass builing situated in a park across the street from the Greek style main Museum building. Well wortth the trip and admission is free due to the Libbey family and others.
Mud Hens and Wallets are as good as minor leage experience gets and there are some of the best high schools in Ohio and the country in Ottawa Hills and Sylvania. You can buy a mansion in Ottawa Hills for what it costs for a normal house in Byrnes Park area. Downtown is now a much more active and interesting place lately with businesses moving back, lots of good restaurants and bars and brew pubs popping up and the music scene and art scene are there and very much alive and growing. It is a fairly very progressive city with a good activist crowd around environmental issues. The health care is pretty good and very rarely do I need to send cases up to A2,Detroit or Cleveland. It is still a city with poverty and crime in some areas and the diffence between the rich and poor is palpable,
All that said what I like best about being here is that A2 is only 50 minutes away and I can have it all.

I'm from a suburb south of Toledo and lived by the University in my late 20's. I ended up moving to South Florida a few years ago and was VERY happy with the move, still am. I will say though that its tough to fly back here to Florida in October when its 58 and crisp up there and its football Saturday and you come back to 90+ summer weather, which is the norm here until Thanksgiving, at least, every year. I still go back to most of the games, its an easy flight.
Left my hometown of Toledo in 1978 when mom and dad drove up 23 to drop me off for college in Ann Arbor. I get back every now and then -- Packos is always a destination, as well Rudy's Hot Dog in West Toledo, my old neighborhood, which does look shabbier and shabbier. I do agree that downtown seems to be doing well. Still, I've heard the hopeful Toledo-is-back talk for a few decades now. Hope it's finally true!
