Even though its name may suggest something low key and quiet, Frankie's Inner City Lounge is anything but sedate. This is one of Toledo's premier nightlife venues for new and alternative rock and features a powerful combination of live bands and DJs every night of the week. The mood changes from night to night depending on what band or musical theme is on the menu, ranging from guitar bands on Tuesdays, open mic night on Wednesdays and industrial and Gothic music on Fridays. A cool, happening and loud place, Frankie's is not for the fainthearted.
It's true that every museum has a mission. The Toledo Firefighters Museum is not only meant to underscore the vast contributions of generations of firefighters, but to also bring much-needed attention to the issue of fire prevention and safety. This unique museum was founded in 1976 as a way of honoring the local firefighters, but its scope and significance goes beyond the city limits of Toledo. Learn about how important it is to keep your home and business safe as well as experience several multimedia and interactive exhibits.
For those who may not know, the city of Toledo was named after a small town outside of Madrid, Spain. The Toledo Spain Plaza stands as a reminder of that link. This is a grassy area off Collingwood Avenue which actually resembles more of a median than a plaza. The plaza is located at the edge of the Historic West End neighborhood and is an excellent place for a leisurely walk or even a picnic.
