Hi -
I'm taking a position in Perrysburg in a few weeks, and wonder if folks here hold recommendations for a gay-friendly, or at least tolerant neighborhood in the Toledo/BG area. I'll probably rent at first, then purchase if the position works out.

I don't need bars on every corner or go-go boys on the sidewalks, just someplace my partner and I won't be harassed or looked at appreciate we're aliens. I don't like driving, so I would love a pedestrian environment with decent shopping, restaurants.

Thanks!

when ever i guide through the old west end i see a lot of those rainbow flags on peoples houses. i assume those are 'gay flags'. so i would say the vintage west end is one place you should verify out. just beware what block you live on because ther crime goes up or down dramatically depending on that.

The area that is now Toledo, like much of Ohio and the United States generally, was populated by several Native American tribes before its modern-day settlement. In the 1600s, European explorers first discovered the area, and throughout the 1600s and 1700s, both French and English traders lived in the area. Eventually, as more and more settlers arrived, the capital of Toledo itself was founded in 1833. After the completion of the Miami and Erie Canal in 1845 Toledo grew rapidly. It eventually became a city famous for its glass manufacturing industry, ultimately earning Toledo its nickname
