A fine September’s evening and a fine Friday for a night out at the museum. There was a band playing on the front steps of the entrance to the museum. Wine was being served and good times were had by all. haha enough of the imagery. Anyway, the night lighting of the band was perfect and this shot makes our hometown museum look pretty inviting.

It was a beautifully overcast evening in Toledo. We noticed the new road leading to the marina district had just been opened up to the public; so off we were. The view wasn’t all that spectactular. The muddy maumee to your left, the belittling bridge straight ahead, and the ever so beuatiful abandoned factory to your right. But we definitely appreciated the view of the city from there. The patch of sunflowers was an unexpected outcome, check out the photos there are quite a few interesting flower/city combinations.

Ok, you may not be familiar with the design blog Notcot.org but we love them! Our buick photo shoot got on their site, and we’ve gotten over 14,000 views in less than 24 hours. Check out the Notcot.org post here: http://www.notcot.org/post/24402/
Ok, this one is another vintage fake. We were driving by a garage sale when I took this shot. My mom drove the same thing when she was younger, so it caught my eye.
Taken inside of the old Churchills food storage plant by the Erie Street market. You can see downtown though the windows on the second and third floors, and it’s an amazing view! Click the picture to see photos from inside the old warehouse, and check out our other cool finds!
This once family run deli in Toledo now represents what happened to most of the great stores that made up downtown. It sits empty, for sale, down the street from foreclosed homes, burnt buildings, and obvious illegal activity occurs every night. While there’s not much hope for the future of this place, it does make for an interesting point in time for photography, much like the people photographing urban Detroit.
But it is Toledo. This is a shot of Allison and our friend Lucian Townes, with a 1971 Buick in front of a mid-century house on Nantucket Road by the Franklin Park mall. Click the photo to see more from the shoot, and check out Lucian’s music here: http://www.myspace.com/luciantownes
So in my love of all things vintage, I was amazed to find this perfect retro kitchen at an estate sale in Toledo this week. Ohio is home to lots of great mid-century design, so keep a look out for other great finds like this!
One last photo from the show, as you can see, there was a huge turnout to see Alice Cooper. Click any of the pictures to get to our flickr group, where you can see the rest of the concert photos!
Because you know you still have a bit of a dark side that loves to sing ‘I’m eighteen and I don’t know what I want’, and because you secretly wish you had gone to see Alice Cooper, here’s our coverage.
