I now live in the suburbs, but I did live in Toledo when I grew up (North End) and right after I was married (East Side - Ghetto. We bought our first house for $25K, if that gives you any idea.). It was a 2,000 ft2 home built in 1902). I was a true Toledo native for 32 years. Sylvania for 4 years. Neither were that bad.
I parked my Accord in the street and the alley and never had it broken into.
