Only the squeekiest of wheels gets the grease, unless you have a relative or a financial interest to open doors. I moved from Toledo after living there most of my life and was pleasantly surprised by what other areas of the country have to offer. Every time I go back to visit I am saddened at the state of the city. It seems that the only contractors with work are the ones specializing in demolition. Maybe I will return one day if things turn around. For now I have no regrets and no sympathy. This is business as usual for Toledo.

I posted something about this just yesterday on Twitter. It is funny how a Friday announcement for the newly named arena can have sidewalk tags all around downtown Toledo in less than 24 hours but a sink hole will sit for over a week unattended to for weeks. I know they have different departments to handle different things but one would hope that the sink hole would have a higher priority then an arena (one would hope). You are absolutely right though. No one should have to have press intervention to get things done right but I guess that is the nature of those in leadership (reactionary). Thanks again for the info. Maybe finally they will fix that big crater just two blocks away from the arena next to Greyhound now. If I call them today maybe they can be done before 2012. LOL. Cross your fingers.
