Right now the whole nation is feeling a slow housing market. I know my family in West Palm who is trying to buy a house in Columbus hasnt sold their house for about 9 months now. Its a nation wide thing right now, and im wondering when it will pick back up again. We had no problem selling our house in Westlake though.

Thanks! I thought so too. Ill pass on Toledo, theres better parts of OH that are cheaper as well as much lower crime. Ill probably need to live in a small town to find something cheap in a low crime area. All the big cities appear to have significent crime except in the rich neighboorhoods that few can afford anyway. I know there wont be much to do in small towns, but I spent half the day on the computer anyway and I could entertain myself all day easily. Ill find hobbies to do in that small town. Perhaps theres some good fishing? For shopping, I can commute to a small city nearby. Small towns are both good and bad. Boring but cheap and low crime

I live in Florida myself but orginally from Ohio and moving back!! I love the weather here, but will deal with the cold and snow just to move back home

So true! Although in the northern part it's pronounced O-hi-o. (I grew up in South Amherst - southwest of Cleveland - and now live in Toledo and it's the same in both)

Almost winter and construction often overlap.

By the way - what was unnecessary about the preposition?

^ How is the Maumee River Crossing Coming? Im headed up to Detroit (o yay) in two weeks, and cant wait to head through Toledo. It really does look great along Toledo's skyline. This huge bridge raising up along the skyline.

You are correct. My school was cancelled twice this past week for cold and had a two hour delay the other three days. Morning temperatures were near zero. Wind chills were -20. C C C Cold!

Another unfortunate side effect of global warming.

Nahh, it was pretty regular here. Schools cancelled or delayed classes several times during the past few years due to wind chills. It was certainly a problem. If not wind chills, freezing rain, snow, ice, etc would cancel school. The job I held in the Toledo area required alot of travel through the metro area to different job sites, and it was a severe pain in the winter, especially with snow and bitter freezing temps. I talked to someone at my old place of employment just last week and they said that I-475 and I-75 were closed in the area due to a serious ice situation, and everyone was going nuts because of it. However, it is 70 degrees here at 2:00am. Ill take that anyday over the 4 degrees Toledo is reading right now on weather.com.
