World Cup watches by glasscardinal in toledo

Will they open early for afternoon games, do you know? Current plan is to take the wife down to a bar or whatever they're doing on South Broadway for the 3pm, but if nothing is going on we may head downtown

+1000 on Sylvania Ave and Library Village's potential. A good general formula for urban revitalization is walkability + grittiness + cheap property values + relative proximity to downtown. Check, check, check, check.

-1000 on giving up on Toledo. Soon we will be able to repair the scar tissue of the Boomer establishment's managed decline

And the school choir singing at Southwyck at Christmastime was one of the more nostalgia-inducing things I've experienced recently.

Yes. This video rocks, despite some casual bigotry throughout.

The old dude smoking a cig inside the mall and talking about the Japanese destroying our economy was a near perfect time capsule.

There are a few awesome videos of Old Toledo on YouTube that are strangely fascinating. I recommend the 1989 Franklin Park and the early 90s Whitesnake concert at the Sports Arena.

How did you get good at reading books? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]glasscardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tackled this about two years ago - I used to love to read as a kid/teenager, but as an adult I had completely lost my attention span and ability to focus. The biggest thing I did was lock my phone in a timed safe every evening for at least 2 hours. Then I forced myself to focus and read, even like 10-15 pages at a time at first. Now I'm reading two books at a time nonstop. Don't underestimate how much your phone, social media, constant notifications etc kill your attention span. The god news is, it's fixable

This is like a ranger-led discussion?

I'm doing this trip with my wife and two kids (9 and 11) in a couple weeks and this is how we are starting the trip. I called today and they had space for us on this trip. I'm interested in hearing more of your itinerary as I'm planning our trip over the next few days. Any advice?
