The crime rate here is overwhelming and it causes a lot of us to feel frustrated with our city. I’ve heard so many people say they “hate” it here. This video is a reminder that there are so many awesome parts and people of Toledo. It shows the beauty some of the people here end up missing out on. I appreciate you showing our city some love.
Yeah but it's because many focus to much on crime or negativity. The local news as well as national news is majority the bad things that go on in the world. So I agree it's nice to have people like this that can change your view or perspective even if it's only temporary.
Please stop it. The entire media fixation on crime shows zero perspective. It's not "overwhelming". So many Rust Belt cities like Toledo and Chicago get a bad rap when it's actually Southern cities that are hotbeds and AWAYS have been: Memphis, Little Rock, St Louis, Kansas City and Birmingham. If you need a reason to hate it here and want to blame city officials, start with the terrible transit system and road conditions. Otherwise it's very affordable and pretty safe.
@@Madaboutmada agreed I have more issues with the bombed out roads and construction areas than I do with crime rates. Serious crime generally comes to people putting themselves in bad situations more so than random acts on innocent citizens.
Totally agree, excellent Sergio!! Been here 12 years myself and its been a wonderful childhood for my children thanks to many of the things you've showcased! I'll fondly be sharing this video with my family and friends to show them why I'm proud Toledo is our home, so thank you!!
@@krys-anne4497 I agree I'm sure there's other places that's nice to live but to me Toledo's home im glad others feel the same way just close your eyes when u go down lagrange st. And everything will be ok........lol
Your channel popped up for me to view. I am glad I did. My Uncle, Jack Ford, use to be the mayor of Toledo. He would have been so proud of the great job you did show casing his city. He is no longer with us, but I’m sure he’s smiling down from up above. Thank You, you’ve gained a new follower. 😊
I've lived here for 50 years! I've always found it to be a great place! Thank you for highlighting so many great aspects of this city & its surrounding towns. This is the most positive video of Toledo! You make me proud to call it my home! The negative comments are from miserable people. If they don't like it here, move! Your mother is adorable & I love that you took her to the museum, Maumee Bay state park, restaurants, etc. You two share a close bond & you treat her as a son should! ❤ Happy belated birthday! Lovely tribute to Colin. I'm so sorry to you, his family & friends. What a loss for the world.
@@nelliesfarm8473 yeah Lewis and Alexis is really bad , there's usually a panhandler on each corner and 2 or 3 in the parking lot at Kroger's over by Target same area
What a beautiful video of toledo. When one lives here we forget about what this city has to offer. We are very lucky many storms back and dont reach us. Thank you for opening our eyes to get out and explore like it's our first time here.
You did such a great job. I have lived in the Toledo area for 6-years and it is so underrated. I only thought I would be here for a couple years but now I don’t want to live anywhere else. Great video.
You did an incredible job all around Sergio. Great story telling and editing. You captured some of the most beloved things in Toledo; delicious food and drinks, our beautiful metroparks, and welcoming community! Thank you for filming Toledo in such a beautiful and elegant way. You are inspiring.
@@Bob-vt3my Maybe you should start a UA-cam channel where you spread awareness to all the local murders in areas that you travel to! Since it’s something you’re interested in and all! 😃
Wow man! This is seriously a gorgeous video, as a student at University of Toledo I've always viewed the majority of the city in a rather negative light, but this video has opened my eyes as how much Toledo has to offer. Thank you Sergio!
Your video is absolutely amazing!!! I hope your staying strong through the passing of your friend here in Ohio. He was taken to soon. Continue with your work. The drone shots and your ability to capture and narrate these is a true god given talent. Good luck on your nomad adventure Sergio!!
I just found your channel and love your representation of our city. I was raised in Maumee but currently in Toledo and you have done a beautiful job showcasing the good in our community. There is so much focus on the bad, the crime, and the gangs. This shows why I love the city so much. There is so much to do here. Especially in the beautiful summer months. All you have to do is look.
Your videos reflect your laid back personality. I really enjoy watching them as they always make me feel positive about life and remind me how much I love exploring new places. Thank you.
Your channel was just reccomended to me. It was this video that was spotlighted. Probably because I live near Toledo. NW Ohio born and raised. ❤ What a wonderful video. Love your positivity. Very sorry to hear about Collin. 🥺 He seemed like such a good guy. Looking forward to more amazing content. I made sure to watch the ads to help you out, if even only in a small way. 💚
Great video Sergio. I’m originally from Toledo. I’ve lived in several states including now in Hawaii for 12 years. I got back periodically to visit, but didn’t realize that Toledo has changed so much for the better. Thanks for posting
This honestly the best video I've ever seen showcasing great parts of the area. I've lived here most of my life and it was nice being reminded of what's all here to enjoy. Best of luck to you and your channel!
Hi Sergio, I've just come across this video. It's beautifully done. I Live in the Old West End directly across from where Collin last lived here. My heart melted to see his kind face on the screen. I know he loved living here and we just loved having him as a neighbor. He is greatly missed. Also- I lived and worked in Mexico for many years, Your Mom's Mole' Looks amazing!
This video by far, is the best lense in which to view the modern-day City of Toledo. I grew up in a small town in northwest Ohio only to move to Toledo about 28 years ago to continue my career. I must admit, I was not fond of Toledo initially, but as time has passed and private dollars have been invested in Toledo, I really enjoy this city. Your filming occurred just prior to the Solheim Cup - a magical time for Toledo. Toledo ended up having some of the best weather and shined like the jewel it truly is despite its hardships and politics. The hardest part in watching this video was your ending: Mr. Collin Thomas Folk. You were gracious to pay tribute to him. I did not know this fellow but in this video you could tell what a charming fellow he was. Perhaps you can do another video of Toledo on your next visit to see your family. Much has changed, but all for the better. Thanks Mr. Sala, for sharing.
Thanks for visiting my hometown. The story I have heard about the word Maumee is it was originally Miami, but with the French soldiers' accents it was pronounced Maw-oh-me, which if said all together sounds like Maumee. There are many questions and urban legends linked to Toledo and the surrounding areas. I am glad you enjoyed it!
I loved seeing Toledo through your eyes! Thank you for showcasing this beautiful place I've been lucky enough to call home my entire life. I teared up watching this. I love my city! ❤ Great job with this film!
Lived here in Toledo all my life and you are the first to show the GOOD of Toledo. Not a bad place to live. Has opportunities to grow. You did a great job. Thank you
Awesome vid man. I've been in Toledo over 20 years and you just introduced me to a couple places I still need to check out. I especially loved seeing the stuff you got with Colin.
I LOVE Toledo! Thank you for making this video! I’ve traveled to so many places and it gave me an appreciation for 419 home (Toledo). I do love how they have worked so diligently on the downtown. Repurposed some of the old warehouses into amazing lofts. So much transformation beautiful!
Sergio, you did a wonderful job showcasing the many positive things to do and see in Toledo. Also showing the great potential of the city & region has to offer.
When I saw that you were posting about Toledo …. Ohio, I was shocked. Loved seeing you with family, and I believe it goes to show you there are beautiful qualities in smaller locales. Every. Single. City. has their issues, I’m from Cleveland which has problems galore, but it also has beautiful qualities and a great quality of life with a top tier arts scene. Congrats on the video
What a lovely digital love letter to Toledo! Some truly gorgeous photography. Loved the coffee houses. And the parks...thanks for covering Middlegrounds and underrated Pearson Park. You did a wonderful job. Missed the Zoo and the Farmer's Market downtown but you're forgiven! 😊❤
I'm from Athens, Ohio, have lived in Colorado 25 years, and started following you because I want to live in Mexico. Love that your family is living in Ohio! My sister and nieces live near Maumee. Been there a few times and you made it look so beautiful! I haven't visited the lovely parks you showed in the video. Now I know why my family won't leave. It's affordable and very pretty.
Great Video! I did not read all the comments but as far as the Maumee River is concerned it got it's name during the French occupation and the river was originally called the Miami River but the French pronunciation sounds like Maumee. You can find this fact and many other if you Visit Fort Meigs in Perrysburg located right across the river from the city of Maumee.
I was born and raised in Toledo but moved to Columbus because it offers more opportunities but do miss family and the Toledo mud hens. I do think that this city is beautiful in its own way and is very small! I appreciate you showing the world a little about where I and many others are from!
Lovely video of Toledo. Thank you for sharing your journey and your views of the city. There’s a lot to love about the metro area. It’s a great place to live.
You should definitely make another one for winter! When you are from Toledo, you don't really see it in the light of a tourist/visitor. It's amazing to see it from a better light. Sometimes you forget the nice things your own town or city has to offer! Great video!
Absolutely stunning. You need to contact local Tourist Officials. You did outstanding job of showcasing this wonderful city. I am proud to call it my home for the past 32 years. I will never let another make fun of Toledo ever again.
Such a beautiful video you make about my hometown of 64yrs. So many of your favorite places were my favorites as well especially the Metro Parks. The camera work and the music made this so beautiful to watch. What a talented gift you have Sergio, you made Toledo proud.
Thank you for showing Toledo as a place to come a injoy and stay for awhile. Thank you again, this is my city and I live here. And I love it here . God Bless
Thank god YT reccomended me such a great video. As a streamer from Toledo and it being my hometown I can't wait too share this with some of my viewers. Thanks for helping me give my friends a tour of my hometown.
I grew up here, you make it seem so peaceful and nice to live. Everyone always has something negative to say about Toledo. My favorite place is our art museum. It's amazing. My friend also works at BREW and it's a good coffee place for UT students.
I'm nostalgic in seeing your video! I grew up in Toledo, went to University there, and just moved to Tampa, Florida. I miss the low commute times and local, small-town feel! Thanks for this incredible video and for curing my feelings of home sickness!
Sergio, you have no idea just how important your video is to anyone who actually cares about Toledo. This is hands down the single best video Toledo has ever had made of it. I mean not even the thousands of dollars they spent some years ago for the Port Authority to try to bring business and investor's to Toledo, it was so dry and really didn't open up the heart of Toledo like you did in this video, thank you so very much. Living in Tucson, but still an old T town son.
This was a great video ... I've lived in Toledo my whole life and don't drive and didn't know half of those coffee shops and shit existed but... Deff wanna check out the Farnsworth campsite with my ole man so thanks keep up the great work :)
Such a captivating video about Toledo. You showed some of my favorite places. If/when you come back, you must try Cocina de Carlos in Waterville after kyaking at Farnsworth Park!
Hi Sergio! I just finished watching the talk you gave at Nomad Summit 2019. Glad to hear that you decided to start posting in English, as this definitely greatly expands your total addressable market. Wishing you the best. -Mihkel
I’ve lived in Toledo my whole life, foods great, nice people usually. I’ve been to every place you’ve been ion the video except for the rooftop bar and the Mexican Store. Next time you go if you do i would recommend Rosies Italian Grille which is usually great Italian food, and yeah great video, im glad someone is talking about Toledo and showing our city and what fun you can have here,… thanks for showcasing Toledo and this is probably the best showcase i have ever seen, Great Job Sergio!
Thanks, Sergio. Great videography btw, and I so love it that you included your Mom I this piece as well. I’m originally from Chicago, and honestly never thought about moving back to the Midwest until now. I left Chicago and have lived in LA , and the cost of living here has become horrendous.
I was born in Toledo and went to college there. After graduating from University of Toledo I moved to California. I should plan a trip to see what I have been missing. Now I am wondering what I am missing where I live now. We just need to get out of our rut. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
WOW. Born and raised there. LIved the first 37 years of my life in Toledo. It is a shadow of what it used to be. Glad you showed the good stuff, even those nearby to places I used to live that are now very depressed. I have to day good job. Now go visit the Zoo.
I really appreciate you for doing this video. I've lived in Toledo my whole life born and raised here. You made Toledo look so beautiful unfortunately it's not. You showed mostly downtown and the outer areas of the city. The inner city is run down over ran with violence drug's homeless people abandoned houses/buildings crime shooting gangs etc.. the list goes on!! I'm just being honest and keeping it %100 real! I love Toledo Ohio it will always be home to me but if you live in the inner city you are always looking over your shoulder and aware of your surroundings at all time's!
I love that you showed so many coffee shops and parks! My version of this video would have included all my favorite Lebanese and Mediterranean spots. Tiger bakery makes amazing kunafa, Cedar Fresh Market has the best fresh pita, and I go to the Middle East Market on the regular for loubieh bi zeit, kousa mahshi, and fatayer. Everyone should try the maklouba at Sidon. One of my favorite things about Toledo :)
Get some zataar. I also think there are Palestinian and Syrian markets/resteraunts people miss here. Trust me as one of the many Lebanese people who live here, you shouldn’t skip over those spots.
What a beautiful video. I really enjoyed this highlight of Toledo's charms, including our parks and variety of food and coffee shop options. Thank you!
This was extremely beautiful. Shocked, however, no mention of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, The art museum's Peristyle where they frequently play, Toledo Zoo or the Stranahan Theater! There's still so much more! And so much glass blowing!!! Thank you for this, seriously. Our town don't get enough credit or attention.
I moved to Toledo a year ago. When we were house hunting we got here and it just felt right. Thanks for highlighting things so I can learn more of my new hone.
Hope you give Toledo a try! Don’t forget to create a profile: geni.us/nomadlist
Let's meet yah! I also live in Toledo
Check Toledo Creatives for meetups!

Ummmm yeah she has no clue about toledo. I lived here my whole life and she honestly has no clue. If you ever come back let me know

You should be armed and hope for a criminal to do something stupid so you can clean the streets up.

@@midwestmike613 really? West Toledo is ghetto as hell. Never used to be this way. This city disgusting if you ask me
This is probably the best showcase of Toledo I've ever seen in my 43 years of living here. Great job, Sergio!
Loved this comment, thanks!
That's so true he did a wonderful job. 41 years myself in Toledo downtown was jumping in 2003 the clubs scene
100% agree!!!

Thanks bro! Hope you liked the quick shot of your landscape photo :)
But what about the murders?
it's a very rare, most see it for what it actually is
@@Bob-vt3my thats everywhere in the US now unfortunately
@@DegenerateSpeculator everywhere? Don't think so bud
I moved to Toledo from Chicago wit my girl. A decision that saved my life!
I've lived here, all my life. You showed me new things! It's so nice to see the city, through the eyes of a visitor. Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Your channel popped up for me to view. I am glad I did. My Uncle, Jack Ford, use to be the mayor of Toledo. He would have been so proud of the great job you did show casing his city. He is no longer with us, but I’m sure he’s smiling down from up above. Thank You, you’ve gained a new follower. 😊
I’m friends with his daughter Jackie! Went to same grade school
I remember when Jack Ford was the mayor. I was a kid so I didn't vote for him persay, but I remember that time fondly.

Wow… I moved from Toledo to Florida in 2013. I’ve been so homesick recently- this helps, but makes me want to move back even more! Thank you so much.

Wow!! I’ve been in the area forever and seeing such a loving portrait really warms my heart ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Never felt prouder to live in Toledo. Thanks, Sergio!
Been to the area plenty of times being that I’m from Monroe mi. Great place for a motorcycle ride with the scenery
I LOVE Toledo! Thank you for making this video! I’ve traveled to so many places and it gave me an appreciation for 419 home (Toledo).

Oh cool to know that. I love being in either the states or Mexico!
You don't want to cross the border into Mexico as an American now the cartels own politicians of both countries and there is no respect for human life
I live in Rutland Ohio from Toledo Ohio

Yes, there is an original map with the river listed as the Miami river.
Thank you so much for posting a positive video of Toledo. I grew up there and have many fond memories of it. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was born and raised in Toledo but moved to
Columbus because it offers more opportunities but do miss family and the Toledo mud hens. I do think that this city is beautiful in its own way and is very small! I appreciate you showing the world a little about where I and many others are from!

Absolutely loved how you've portrayed my home city. This is everything anyone visiting Toledo should get into
Such a captivating video about Toledo. You showed some of my favorite places. If/when you come back, you must try Cocina de Carlos in Waterville after kyaking at Farnsworth Park!

Hi Sergio!
I just finished watching the talk you gave at Nomad Summit 2019. Glad to hear that you decided to start posting in English, as this definitely greatly expands your total addressable market. Wishing you the best.

I feel it was the best decision, thanks for watching!
This was a great video. Great video to watch in the morning with your coffee
Great job. I have lived here for 5 years and did not know about many interesting things that are in this video.
thanks!
I’ve lived in Toledo my whole life, foods great, nice people usually. I’ve been to every place you’ve been ion the video except for the rooftop bar and the Mexican Store. Next time you go if you do i would recommend Rosies Italian Grille which is usually great Italian food, and yeah great video, im glad someone is talking about Toledo and showing our city and what fun you can have here,… thanks for showcasing Toledo and this is probably the best showcase i have ever seen, Great Job Sergio!
Yes! Rosie's patio is AMAZING!
@@lauraschmidt125I know right!
I've learned more about Toledo tfrom this video than I ever had just living in the area.
Thank you for this video. I have a lot of discovering to do.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful video of Toledo
Seeing Collin again definetly brought tears to my eyes
Born and raised here and I really appreciate seeing our city portrayed in a positive manner for once. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for showing my hometown in such a beautiful light.
Thanks, Sergio. Great videography btw, and I so love it that you included your Mom I this piece as well. I’m originally from Chicago, and honestly never thought about moving back to the Midwest until now. I left Chicago and have lived in LA , and the cost of living here has become horrendous.
I love this! I've lived here for 20+ years! Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You do some wonderful cinematography and story telling. I am Born and raised in Toledo and still here! I am quite proud of you.
Fantastic work - it really captures the vibe in downtown Toledo!
I was born in Toledo and went to college there. After graduating from University of Toledo I moved to California. I should plan a trip to see what I have been missing. Now I am wondering what I am missing where I live now. We just need to get out of our rut. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
We miss you Kimberly
WOW. Born and raised there. LIved the first 37 years of my life in Toledo. It is a shadow of what it used to be. Glad you showed the good stuff, even those nearby to places I used to live that are now very depressed. I have to day good job. Now go visit the Zoo.
I really appreciate you for doing this video. I've lived in Toledo my whole life born and raised here. You made Toledo look so beautiful unfortunately it's not. You showed mostly downtown and the outer areas of the city. The inner city is run down over ran with violence drug's homeless people abandoned houses/buildings crime shooting gangs etc.. the list goes on!!
I'm just being honest and keeping it %100 real!
I love Toledo Ohio it will always be home to me but if you live in the inner city you are always looking over your shoulder and aware of your surroundings at all time's!
Wonderful job. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
I live just a few Minutes east of you in Reno Beach.
Andy.
I’ve lived here most of my life, good representation of the city. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Somehow your videos give me peace and good vibes, always.
Born in Toledo Ohio, all of my family resides there still so I love this sooo much 🥲❤️
I love that you showed so many coffee shops and parks! My version of this video would have included all my favorite Lebanese and Mediterranean spots. Tiger bakery makes amazing kunafa, Cedar Fresh Market has the best fresh pita, and I go to the Middle East Market on the regular for loubieh bi zeit, kousa mahshi, and fatayer. Everyone should try the maklouba at Sidon. One of my favorite things about Toledo :)
Get some zataar. I also think there are Palestinian and Syrian markets/resteraunts people miss here. Trust me as one of the many Lebanese people who live here, you shouldn’t skip over those spots.
What a beautiful video. I really enjoyed this highlight of Toledo's charms, including our parks and variety of food and coffee shop options. Thank you!
Thanks for showing this to us. Very nice video.
This was extremely beautiful. Shocked, however, no mention of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, The art museum's Peristyle where they frequently play, Toledo Zoo or the Stranahan Theater! There's still so much more! And so much glass blowing!!! Thank you for this, seriously. Our town don't get enough credit or attention.
I moved to Toledo a year ago. When we were house hunting we got here and it just felt right. Thanks for highlighting things so I can learn more of my new hone.
Wonderful videos… thank you and happy birthday!
Many thanks!
What a great video of Toledo !! I'm originally from Toledo and now I live in Sandusky. I didn't know half of the things you've shown
Sergio - this is so beautiful! Thank you for your fantastic images of our wonderful little city! :)
