An Ohio steel town that named themselves after us.
"In 1881, after a vote, the town was incorporated under its present name. This was taken from the much larger Canadian city of the same name, which civic leader Thomas M. Daniels felt was a place worth emulating."
Birthplace of the late actor Robert Urich [Vegas, Spencer for Hire]. He married Sound of Music star Heather Menzies, a Toronto girl. Therefore, a union between a man from Toronto Ohio and a lady from Toronto Ontario.
I spent a couple of hours here with a camera. I had nice meal and caused a couple of police cars to slow down - I guess they don't see many people strolling their North 4th street with a camera.
The pictures below depict an unimproved downtown. However Toronto Ohio is a economically thriving place. There are two steel mills. One is owned by the global giant Arcelor Mittal. The second has a sign in front proudly proclaiming titanium castings - an activity that hints at defense contracts. There was a rush hour of sorts of mostly late model cars and I had to beware of the traffic. Homes are immaculately maintained. Many dozens of them are located just off the downtown pictured below. There are blond coloured brick paved streets bordered by multi-coloured wooden houses in some areas - a striking appearance, but rain started before I could take a picture.
I found it odd that Toronto could turn it's back on its central business area but perhaps they simply haven't gotten around to revitalizing it. There is a mall that serves the area so perhaps realities are what they are.
