It might seem surprising but Toledo offers a couple of gems for Midwest travelers.  First, there's the Toledo Museum of Art.  Funded by a giant endowment the museum offers some extremely important works including The Crowning of St. Catherine by Peter Paul Rubens. Of particular note, is the Cloister Gallery, only several of this quality exist in the country. There is also a great glass art gallery and a few choice classical antiquities.  In addition, a wing shared with The University of Toledo was designed by Frank Gehry and exhibits his style in a wonderfully compact package.  Toledo's Zoological Gardens are also better than one might expect and offers family fun.  There's plenty to eat including Tony Packo's Cafe on Toledo's East Side (don't go to the west side Packo's or you'll miss the true experience).  You might remember Klinger talking about it on M*A*S*H.  Speaking of Klinger, the Toledo Mud Hens now play in a great stadium downtown (Fifth Third Field) so if you're there in the summer, the evening's entertainment is easy to decide on.
