Their heritage buildings are in pretty bad shape, but at least they're not burning them down!

great shots mustapha! & thanks for the history lesson.
Perhaps the ugly wooden poles are an art installation as a tribute to Toronto, Ontario?

For a town this close to Youngstown and right on the border with West Virginia, things don't look to be in bad shape here. It could be a LOT worse. If their mills are still a going concern, that's definitely why. And I did a quick search--they don't have a Walmart....
Oddly enough, I'd never heard of Toronto, OH even though I'm from Ohio. I have, however, been here: http://www.ontarioohio.org/
oops my bad. it's Toronto South Dakota and the 1906 pics i have are from there...
I wonder how they pronounce Toronto... Toronno or Tor-on-toe?
I have always found Ohio interesting because as I have found it does not have a distinct identity and much of Ohio's regions are like the states that surround it...like here Western PA and close by WV for example...the region that parallels
the Ohio River from East Liverpool,Ohio on southward is considered to be "Appalachian Ohio" which has been mentioned to be similar to bordering West Virginia in character...
FAC33: Toronto,Ohio is in Jefferson County north of Steubenville on Ohio Route 7 along the Ohio River...adjacent to Weirton and New Cumberland,WV...
I recall that Ontario,Ohio is in the Toledo area...NW Ohio to me is more like neighboring Michigan or Indiana as a comparison...

Mike, you're pretty much spot on, although I would argue that central Ohio is probably the only area that isn't like the surrounding states. NE Ohio is definitely akin to Pennsylvania, SE Ohio has a lot in common with WVA and Appalachian Kentucky, SW Ohio is like central Kentucky, and NW Ohio is more in the southern Michigan fold. West Central Ohio is also much like Indiana once you get past I-75. But Central Ohio - Columbus, Springfield, Delaware, Mansfield, and maybe Dayton--is its own thing. Columbus is a university and government town--not so much rural-based, not so much manufacturing-based--and isn't really like any of the other regions in Ohio.
FAC33: Thanks for that reply-come to think of it Central Ohio is arguably the only region in OH that can identify as Ohio's own...because of its location they are not heavily influenced by any of Ohio's boundary states...
By the way-which part of Ohio are you from?
