Travel & Leisure magazine ranks Toledo Ohio museum #1

Break out the travel atlas or dust off the road maps and plot a course for the city of Toledo, a Lake Erie port city located in Northwestern Ohio. Regardless of your line of march from the river cities it’s a straight shot north once you reach I-75.

“Why a road trip to Toledo?” you’re probably asking. A visit the new Glass Pavilion is the answer. This new structure was recently ranked by the high profile publication “Travel & Leisure as the “new design” award museum for 2007. Rated numero uno or number 1 the article also included a quote influential design guru Kate Spade: “This new building alone is a reason to go to Toledo, a place you might not otherwise visit.”

Visit the “T & L” website @ http://www.travelandleisure.com and browse the awards category. For more travel information on Toledo go to http://www.dotoledo.org. I suspect that you might be surprised at what’s available in this region for a weekend getaway. Art, culture, sports, history & more await the curious traveler.
