MORE ON TOLEDO AND THE MARINES, from Roger Kimball. And a reader from Toledo emails: “The really rich part of this is that our downtown still has many vacant buildings. One of Carty’s ‘arts’ initiatives was to get artists to paint scenes that would be put up inside the windows of the vacant buildings so they wouldn’t look so ‘vacant’. Oh, and did I mention that the City and County were pleading with the Feds a couple of years ago not to move the local Air National Guard Base (and its jobs/payroll taxes) out of Toledo Express Airport? Pray for us.” This won’t help with that.

Meanwhile, at BlackFive they are not amused.
