The Vision For Summer '19

Midstory Thinkhub

Toledo has never been a one-man show: with over 2,500 nonprofit organizations in Lucas County and over 30,000 companies in Toledo alone, we all have a stake in our future as a city and region. At this crucial era in Toledo’s history —on the cusp of rebirth, an emergent renewal of identity, and a bright but oftentimes uncertain future ahead—we need to learn about our community in a neutral space. And a train is, perhaps, the most powerful symbol of that space. It is a place in motion, moving ahead with many stops along the way. It is a public place, full of seeming strangers brought together only by a shared destination: a moment of commute, sectioned off in time and space, for ourselves and for our city.
