"Up-town Toledo" - Deadsville

Comment Up

Builders came in and built condos and town homes that all became Section 8.
No one was interested in buying there because of the
slum and blight and poverty.
Sound familiar?

Ugly Toledo...Enter at your own risk

Comment Up


The videographer has taken all sorts of abuse for reporting on the slum and the blight in this city. This is what happens to reporters who tell the truth--when politicians and special interests do what they do to take good people down, ruin their business, call them every demeaning name in the book to shut them up.  This could be any city, U.S.A. While caring citizens put on their gloves and help clean-up the trash throughout the Lake Worth neighborhoods, the problem returns the very next day.

Put on your blindfold! In some ways, you can substitute the name of the city to Lake Worth and you will see where the videographer's concerns are very similar to ours (ours are on a smaller scale but serious nevertheless), and the solutions from the elected officials are the same--tax and spend. We do, however, give credit to William Waters for enacting Ordinances to help eradicate some of the problem here and our Code officers do the best they can.
