D's Barbeque deserves an A
In a city that hosts several barbeque focused events like the Northwest Ohio Rib Off, amazing everyday barbeque is relatively hard to find. D’s Barbeque, an expansion of a food truck run by Darise May which was opened in October, does not outwardly jump at you, from its location inside the former Harbor Light Masonic Lodge in the Point Place neighborhood, but in large part the food was quite memorable. My first visit to the place on a weekday afternoon found the place relatively empty except for May, a very genial and gracious host, who seems to be the only employee. I ordered the 3 rib dinner ($17) which came with two sides, and I chose the green beans and the mac and cheese.

Resident wants Toledo to address abandoned house filled with tires
Candace Kirchner, of Tracy Street in East Toledo, has complained to the City of Toledo about five abandoned houses in her neighborhood over the years, but not much has changed. One of the abandoned houses at 121 East Florence Ave. was recently in the news after the Ohio attorney general filed charges against a Toledo couple for illegally transporting and dumping scrap tires in the house. An investigation had determined that more than 2,000 scrap tires had been hauled from Toledo tire dealers without proper state permits and the couple then dumped the tires in their yard. “From my backyard deck, I can see all five abandoned houses.
