Today's riddle: The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Two-alarm fire sends heavy smoke across Toledo (wtol.com) — A major early-morning fire in an abandoned building on Western Avenue sent heavy smoke across South Toledo Sunday, even triggering a nearby school's alarm. Fire crews shifted to a defensive attack for safety and stayed for hours dousing hot spots. No injuries were reported, but investigators are still working to determine what sparked the blaze.
2. Road Warrior: Trail gateway's luster dimmed by streetlight neglect (toledoblade.com) — If you drive into downtown Toledo via the Anthony Wayne Trail, expect shabby, poorly maintained streetlights and ongoing coordination issues with Toledo Edison as the city works on repairs and design upgrades. This week also brings a long list of overnight freeway closures, daytime lane restrictions, and detours on key Toledo and regional routes that could significantly affect your commute.
3. Ohio lawmakers' votes: 9/28-10/2 (toledoblade.com) — Toledo-area lawmakers split this week on a high-impact bill that would suspend Ohio's gas tax for 90 days and tighten rules on key fob use in car thefts. The rundown shows exactly how each local senator and representative voted, helping you see where your Toledo delegation stands on fuel costs and public safety.
4. Gas tax break slow to reach Ohio pumps (13abc.com) — Toledo drivers may not see cheaper gas right away, even though Ohio's 90-day gas tax holiday starts Sunday, because existing fuel in station tanks was already taxed. Local station owners say they're squeezed by high wholesale prices and thinner profits, while customers are cutting back on in-store purchases and trips. Prices are expected to drop 30 to 50 cents over the coming week.
