Omg I love this. I’ve always been curious about Witchita.

In fairness I live two hours from Toledo and have never explored it. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that it’s freeways are perpetually under construction. I shall refrain from voting .

I guess Toledo overall, but barely. It's in a better location.

I have been to Toledo and Wichita. It seems to be more important for Kansas than Toledo is for Ohio. Wichita looked very clean and had great public spaces. Toledo for most is on the way to Detroit. Thanks for the video...it kind of sounds like an Asian pop song lol.

My vote went to Toledo overall because of its location. At least it's right by the Michigan border so you're not far from Detroit, Ann Arbor, etc. Wichita is more isolated.

My vote went to Wichita since it's been drawing new people every decade since its beginning, while Toledo has been constantly losing population ever since the 1970s. I'm used to living in a city that has slowly been adding on population.

Wichita by far. But, you gotta love doing outdoor stuff. Not malls.

What does that have to do with Toledo? I don't recall Toledo being renowned for malls, lol. If anything, Toledo's best attribute is ... nature (Maumee Bay).

From the little I had researched on both cities, both only have one pretty successful mall. Wichita with Towne East, and Toledo with Franklin Park. There were other malls in these areas, but are either dying and struggling (Towne West in Wichita) or are dead now (i.e. for Toledo area North Towne, Southwyck, and Woodville). But yeah lol, one would probably have to travel elsewhere (i.e. Detroit or Cleveland areas for Toledo, and KC, Tulsa, or OKC for Wichita, maybe Dallas/Ft. Worth if you're up for a long drive) to find more shopping options, or online.

I will say that in both cities(neither I've visited), there are minor things I would like to see and visit myself, if passing through. For Toledo the Mud Hens (minor league baseball) stadium, and also the Toledo Art Museum (don't know if I got its name right). For Wichita one of my relatives did once live there, so maybe I'd want to check out a few neighborhoods, and its art museum. Neither of them are destination cities, but I suspect both cities probably have a few nice things about them. I do know Wichita was historically very reliant on its airplane building industry, and I hope that city has diversified into more industries than just airplane building.

As I've visited neither city, won't vote in this poll.

I believe Louisville is more than a 2 hour drive from Toledo.
