If you have not noticed, the local talk show has heated up in the last 6 months in the morning. While 1370 WSPD is the highest ranked station in the morning, 1230 WCWA puts together an impressive list of guests each week. Troy went a step further this past week by publishing a weekly guest list at: http://www.troyneff.com/weekguest.php.

They missed our 20th but thanfully not the 25th

I have made several updates to the Web site. First the HTML Rich Text editor is even better than before. If you have not enabled it, you can do so. I am using it now and it is so much nicer. You can turn it on by going to "My Account" , click on the "Edit" tab, then right at the top, there is TinyMCE Rich Text settings. You can enable it there.

The SwampBubbles store now has Support Toledo Intermodal items. There is no markup on the items.
Get them now at:

Wouldn't Scout would look good in one of these?

It seems there are better ways to spend tax money.

Some belated news: Last week, through your discussion and posting of articles since the site's inception, our Google ranking went from a 3 to a 4. Yes that sounds small on a scale of 10, but it is hard to move up a number and it is a result of the interest that has been drawn here. This score does not raise over night or in a weeks time, but is the result of 6-12 months of activity.

Many times, people think I am sitting on the site 24/7 reading every single byte that passes through the server. That is not true. I have received many comments recently wondering how I allow certain things. I probably only read 30% of the stuff posted here. Some stuff just does not interest me, while other things may. I chime in where I need, and the stuff that is not interesting I just ignore.

So I have made a few improvements in the last couple of days, including the ability to log in with your username or e-mail address, a log in screen instead of a generic Access denied page, a new Bookmark feature where you can bookmark the stories that interest you, and the Ignore User option where you can choose to ignore a user's content.

Has anyone seen the new "Toledo Pride" signs at the city entry points? I just saw one at the Secor/ Bancroft intersection and was wondering if they had been replaced in other areas. I didn't get the greatest look at it, but it was blue in color and stated "International Award Winning City" (or something close to that).

I came across handmade signs today warning of a possible pet killer in West Toledo. Anyone hear about this?

I recently made 3 changes:
1. I created some local groups based upon location, which will allow you to talk about area specific news and events.
2. "Recent Comments" on steroids.

This 'deal' is iffy . Tetra Tech can back out at any time.

Questions on the “sale” of City properties for future Toledo Riverwalk…
They say the devil is in the details and after getting access to some of the details on the possible sale of property to Tetra Tech I have to wonder, Fox Toledo has the documents on line but the basic facts?

I know of these suits -

Several students at the University of Toledo are participating in an empty hoster protest this week to recognize the need for students and faculty with Concealed Carry permits to practice their rights at a public university. Protests such as this are occurring across the nation and are sponsored by the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, a grassroots organization to shed light on the issue.

I emailed my Congressperson about this -
