Art and Architecture in Northwest Ohio, plus anything else I damn well please.

Union Station, Old South End, Toledo
Though it's not exactly great architecture, this building didn't deserve the loating and snottiness aimed in its direction when it was destroyed by fire in the 1950's. Everyone was very pleased with its replacement, which is one of the most butt-ugly public buildings in the city.
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
