Bay View Park is where the Lake Erie Amusement Park and Casino was until 1910 and this ornamental…read morelighthouse was constructed between 2003 and 2008. It is on a small bit of land that overlooks the Maumee River. There is a small parking lot adjacent and a bike and walking path that will lead you to the lighthouse. It is between the Bay View and Detwiler golf courses and if someone is still missing their Callaway golf ball, it's in the parking lot. The outside of the lighthouse is fully accessible but it is not used for navigation and the interior is closed. It is a plain white building and nice to look out but non-functioning so three stars. If you're a "lighthouse collector" as I am https://www.yelp.com/collection/GLWJhPZloUBCLUFSYgLw4g/Lighthouses, then stop by as it is a brief detour from the interstate just north of Toledo heading to Detroit. Otherwise, you can keep on going by. [Round number 18000 overall - 151 in Ohio - 1521 of 2022.]

I rarely leave with less than the limit of the number of titles that can be checked out. The building and the grounds are really beautiful, with ample parking. I love a branch where the patrons behave themselves! The seating is plentiful inside, with some nice easy chairs scattered throughout. My only wish is that the state of Ohio shifts come funding back to our library system so the hours could improve!

I have always loved ships. I've toured a handful of historic ships over the years. U.S.S…read more Constitution? Check. WWII submarine? Check. Mid-19th-century schooner? Check. Early 20th-century Great Lakes freighter? Hmm... So perhaps this ship does not have the romanticism or historical significance of the others. It is an impressive sight, quite long and stolid. In operation from 1911 to 1980, it was the largest freighter in the world when launched and set some cargo records during its first few years before being eclipsed by ever-advancing technology. It was also well known for luxury which supposedly rivalled the famous trans-Atlantic liners. Up to the modern day it is recognized as a relic of the so-called Golden Age of Great Lakes shipping, but although I respected its achievements, I couldn't quite conjure up the reverence and awe that it seemed to be asking for. Obviously the ship has seen better days, but it could be spiffier. Many spots need a buff with Rust-Away and a new paint job. In any case, this would be a fun place to take the kids, and frankly it's one of the few things worth doing or seeing in Toledo.

Great deal on tickets and candy, the seats are properly positioned to ensure that you don't strain your neck looking up at the screen at an odd angle, and the theater is properly spaced out to let the speakers surround you without being too loud or annoying. Highly recommend that you spend at least one evening at the theater to watch a classic film!
