From Me to You November, the month of gratitude, culminates with Thanksgiving which traditionally takes place with friends and family over tables laden with amazing food. MLiving looks at holiday ideas to make your Thanksgiving celebration easier - I know I can sure use some of those tips.

We also look at a veteran who continues to cook at Whitehouse Manor - age to him is just a suggestion.

We offer some ideas to assist veterans who might need advice and support.

Did you know that Toledo is an affordable place to move - we have the facts for you. MHome visits Deb and John Joslin at their Perrysburg charmer.

Are you hungry for a gourmet burger - Dining Out takes us to Bar 145. Surgery on your knees coming up we have some information you might want to read.

I, like many of you, will be cooking up a storm on Thanksgiving. But the highlight of my day will be laughing and reminescing with my family (all 28 of us) in what is a tradition not to be missed.

Once again we were priviledged to win an award at the annual NAMPA convention for the best photography congratulations to the staff .

As always, comments and suggestions, please email me at pnowak@adamsstreetpublishing.com Best, Pat Nowak, Editor

Local The 50+ club

Pharmacy shuffle

The Ohio State Bar Association has recognized five local lawyers for each providing in excess of 50 years of legal service to the Toledo area, Howard G. Bruss, Richard A. Chase, Douglas K. Jordan, Mervin S. Scharfman and James J. Petlow all were honored during an OSBA District 4 annual meeting at the Toledo Club. District 4 represents over 1,000 attorneys who practice in Lucas, Ottawa and Sandusky counties. The certificates were conferred by Ohio State Bar Association President Randall Comer.

If you currently use a ProMedica outpatient pharmacy for your medicinal needs, you might be shifted to using a CVS pharmacy instead, as the national chain has acquired six ProMedica locations. Five of the locations will be outright closed and all files will be moved to the nearest CVS. The sixth location, located at 3316 Navarre Ave. in Oregon, will actually become a CVS. Reps for CVS state that they will hire several of the ProMedica employees to staff incoming and existing stores after the changes began in mid-October. These are the stores that will be closing: n ProMedica Pharmacy Counter at 2100 W. Central Ave. in Toledo n ProMedica Pharmacy Counter at 5700 Monroe St. in Sylvania n Flower Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy at 5200 Harroun Rd. in Sylvania n ProMedica West Central Pharmacy at 2150 W.

Feature Story The Gift of Gratitude

Friends and family come together

By Pat Nowak Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada, the United States, some of the Caribbean islands and Liberia. It began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest.

Many countries have harvest festivals including Argentina, Italy, Israel and Greece. Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a day where friends and families come together to celebrate with a special meal but over the years the menu has evolved to include many unusual and tasty additions.

Décor

Since the holiday is centered on delicious food— you’ll want your best Thanksgiving décor for a festive table. There are so many places ideas - check Pinterest or the home magazines. Some favorite ideas are:

Wine bottle candleholders

Buffets can be dressed

Everyone has old wine bottles. They make great candleholders for the table. Fill them with miniature lights or grains and nuts to add the perfect ambiance to the table.

If you have flowers for the table, skip expensive vases in favor of a soup terrine or an old milk bottle.

Milk bottle vases

up with a bright tablecloth and a mix of antique dishes, while sit-down dinner tables can be personalized with handwritten menus and individual serving pieces.

Thankful tree This is one that is special-

take a walk in the park or around your house and gather small branches. Arrange them in a glass vase with walnuts and pine cones in the bottom. Children can cut out paper leaves for family and friends to write notes on about what they are thankful for. Tie each note onto a branch with a decorative bow.

Wine Bottle candle holders

Entertaining Mix up the menu. Most people serve an entire buffet of hot dishes. Think about using a mix of both hot and cold food which keeps the menu interesting and allows you more time to mingle with guests. n Make sure you have all the cooking and baking tools needed for Thanksgiving entertaining. n Plan your meal, work ahead (and be sure to defrost the turkey). n If you have guests who have not previously met, use place cards with their name on one side and their passion or hobby on the back for a great conversation starter. n Small children often get bored. A great way to get them involved is to use butcher paper instead of a tablecloth at the children’s table— they can draw their own gratitude pictures. n Add a cinnamon stick or sprig of rosemary to the napkin for a nice touch.

Dinner The right dinner n Use

chunks of onions, carrots, celery and garlic on the bottom of your roasting pan before placing the turkey on top to add flavor to your drippings and your gravy. n Many cooks slow roast the bird but high-heat cooking and deep frying are also options. The classic method is 20 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. If you are in a hurry, split your turkey so that it lies flat and you can cook it for eight minutes per pound at 450. n Carve the turkey with a sharp knife. Take the legs and wings off first (cutting through the joint) for better access to maneuver to get to the breast. n Make more than you think you will need and make sides ahead of time. Make things ahead and freeze them; many recipes are good frozen and then reheated. n Stuffing is often centerpiece of the meal. Bread-based casseroles are both simple to prepare and versatile enough that you can use a variety of ingredients you may have on hand. For a simple stuffing shortcut, use store bought holiday cornbread stuffing— and add fresh vegetables, herbs and walnuts or pecans for a delicious dish. n Let’s celebrate this Thanksgiving with special prayers for those who are unable to join us at the table, those whose homes have been devastated by the recent hurricanes and fires, the victims of the horrific attack in Las Vegas and all those who work that day to make our holiday safe.

Thanking our

Veterans!

A Veteran Helping Veterans

Chef helps others to eat and live well

By Chris Watson At 79, most of us are, or at least hope to be, thoroughly retired. Not so for Gordon Wright, Director of Dining Services and Executive Chef at Whitehouse Country Manor.

Wright, who served in the army between 1957 and 1960, claims he will always be busy. “Busy hands, busy feet, busy mind. I have to do something.” That something is preparing and serving food to veterans along with other residents who now reside at the facility.

Cooking was not a part of Wright’s military service. “That was probably the one thing I didn’t do in the Army.” Wright’s service, spread domestically between Ft. Hood and Ft. Carson, encompassed a wide range of specialties including driver, trainer and, eventually, squad leader.

He served as a camouflage expert in a missile battalion. “I was fortunate,” claims Wright. “I was always a specialist and always had good jobs.

I was ‘soldier of the month’ three times. I am still proud of that and my service.” But no cooking. “Well,” admits Wright, “occasionally, we would sneak over to the mess late at night and fix something.”

Restaurant background Although his military service doesn’t reflect it, Wright comes from a food background. His family owned a high-end restaurant growing up called Mason Maurice in Worthington, OH. “It was upscale French cuisine,” remembers Wright. “When I was 10, my dad said I made the best martini he ever drank.”

Today, Wright shares his cooking talent with Manor residents. “I enjoy serving people. Here at the facility our residents become family. They have a great way of making us laugh.

Plus, I love serving people. It makes life worth living.”

Whitehouse Country Manor has worked hard to be best in class when it comes to serving its residents and, in particular, veterans. “We are very proud of our community,” says Lindsay Duke, Admission/Marketing Director for the Manor. “We are a Nationally-Contracted, CommunityBased Veteran’s Home. Because of our quality of care and services, we have recently received our fourth and final star for Community Partnership with the We Honor Veterans Program.

This is in no small part due to people

like Gordon, who seek to honor and respect our veterans and other residents every day.”

Achievements notwithstanding, for Duke it comes back to military service.

“Gordon is such a hard worker. He runs this place like a busy restaurant. More importantly, he really cares about our residents. He cares about what they need and like to eat.”

Level of travel

When not serving his fellow veterans, Wright certainly gets around. “One of the reasons I work is to travel.” The 79-year-old and his wife recently returned from a trip to India. Other trips have included Africa, Asia, England and Scotland. “Travel takes money and we love to do it. Travel is a pretty good motivation to keep working.”

VETERANS BENEFFITS Merit House is a Family owned and operated community offering a full range of senior care services in West Toledo.

Some of that work ethic came from military service. “You really grow up in the military. You learn how to deal with things like unqualified leadership. You learn to cope with situations that are less than ideal. You also learn to do jobs the best you can.” Wright continues wryly, “There weren’t a lot of excuses that were acceptable in the Army.”

Duke openly admires this quality. “Gordon doesn’t just cook food and put it on a plate. He knows that what he does is important and he conveys that in everything he touches. He has great respect for our veterans. He is a classy guy.”

Wright chuckles when he hears that description. “I am not sure how classy I am. What I do know is that the service taught me quite a bit. It taught me how to do the task in front of me, do the best I can, and basic common sense and respect. I carry that with me every day.”

Feature Story Sharing A Father’s Lessons

Gordie Howe’s son immortalizes his father’s advice in a new book

By Jeff Klima Gordie Howe, a hockey legend, played for the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings for 25 seasons (and another six seasons in the World Hockey Association). The only person to compete in the NHL in five different decades, Howe was on teams that won the Stanley Cup four times. He was the inaugural recipient of the NHL’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the namesake of the “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” (a goal, an assist, and a fiveminute fighting penalty). And yet, according to his youngest son, Dr. Murray Howe, Gordie, who passed away June 10, 2016, was an even better father than he was a hockey player.

Dr. Howe, a Toledoan for the past 26 years, works as a radiologist for Toledo Radiological Associates and recently published a book, Nine Lessons I Learned From My Father, detailing his relationship with his famous dad.

MLiving was fortunate to speak with Murray about what it meant to grow up in the shadow of a giant and how his father helped him learn to cast his own tremendous shadow.

How did you end up in radiology?

My whole life I wanted to be a pro hockey player and in college I didn’t make it, so I focused on my studies. I went to the University of Michigan in a pre-med program and got into medical school at Michigan, so I did all my training there for both medical school and my radiology residency and then found my way down to Toledo when I was done with my training.

How often do people see your last name and make the connection?

Maybe half the time? For many people, if they meet me, I look so unlike my father they just don’t think it’s

Dr. Murray Howe, a Toledo resident, honors his fathers legacy through writing.

likely, because he was twice my size.

Occasionally, they’ll make a joke like, “Any relation to Gordie Howe, haha,” and they don’t even listen for the answer.

Why did you ultimately decide to write this book?

I’ve always admired my father, really idolized him. He passed away a few days before Father’s Day. I woke up on Father’s Day and felt really bummed out that I wasn’t going to be able to see him and spend time with him.

And I thought, “Gosh, what could I do to honor him?” I said, “You know, I should write a book about him to carry on his legacy and let people know even more about what he stood for and who he was as a father and who he was as a person, because he was such an amazing individual.” His spirit is so inspiring, it was just something I wanted to share with as many people as possible and honor him in that way.

www.mlivingnews.com

What do your siblings think about you writing the book?

They think it’s cool. We have lots of books out about our family... but this is the first time one of the family members has written an intimate book about our father and our family from an insider’s view. I think they’re all excited to see it in print.

Was your father given to presenting lessons or are these abstracts you learned along the way?

Yes, he always loved to teach.

Whatever he was doing he always wanted to pass that on. If he was chopping wood, he’d say, “Murray, come over here.” And he’d show me how to do it. He loved to pass on any knowledge he had. But he was never big about lecturing. He’d give you a pointer or two, but he wouldn’t spend all day giving you a five-point thesis about this and that. He felt that you needed to learn by example and by figuring [it] out for yourself.

November 2017

Which of the nine lessons is most resonant with you?

Far and away, the most valuable lesson I learned from my dad is that his greatness transcended his remarkable athletic achievements. It was in fact his commitment to excellence in all facets of his life, especially his humanity/love for his fellow man, which allowed him to make such a profound impact upon so many. That true greatness is something we all are capable of achieving, whatever our gifts, by giving the world all we’ve got.

That was truly the greatest thing Dad taught me.

What’s your favorite memory of your father?

One memory really stands out for me— we were at Tam O’Shanter (Ice Arena, in Sylvania) and this little boy who was 6 or 7 comes running up to my dad, and the mom says, “Can we get a picture?” And my dad is elbowing and headlocking [the kid], playing with him, and the kid is totally enamored looking at my dad. He was obviously a big hockey fan; he still had his equipment on. And the mom said, “His name is Gordie, we named him after you.” That just really lit my dad up. Three generations down from my father and still his legacy is continuing in that way.

You can buy Dr. Howe’s book at all major bookstores or online.

Moses Cooper, Jr. is known around the Senior Star at West Park Place as a wizard, with his wand, a stylus and his book of spells replaced by an iPad. Moses, a retired TARTA bus driver of 32 years, now is a teacher of technology. The 86-yearold holds free classes at Senior Star, a senior living community, teaching his peers how to use digital devices to better communicate with their families and grandchildren.

It’s a remarkable skill that has been attracting some serious attention media for the dapper resident. Cooper is fascinated by technology and wants to share his love with others. Some nights he’ll stay up until sunrise, just checking out updates and new programs.

Technology has come a long way since he first became infatuated, but just as technology isn’t slowing down, neither is Cooper.

How did you become a technology expert?

I used to raise cattle. I saw this one steer [that] I thought one of my customers might want, and he did, so I bought it. He offered to pay me for it weekly [in installments] to take care of it. I said, “No, just wait to the end of the month, I’ll let you know what the expense is.” And he said, “Okay, I’ll take a check out in the computer.” This was back in the ’60s, you didn’t hear talk like that then. I [went over to his house] and that thing blew my mind.

I said, “What does this thing cost and where do you buy them?” I went home and ordered whatever was available at that time. I was on a high for nine years. I would stay on it sometimes 12 hours straight, just pecking.

Where did you get a computer back then?

At that time, a computer was a new thing. You could only buy a computer at only a few places back then in Toledo. It cost $164 and had the name Commodore. No internet, none of that stuff. This was around, best as I can rec-

www.mlivingnews.com

ollect, 1968. Every spare minute I had, I was on it. I’ve had one ever since. I upgrade about every two years.

So how did you begin to teach others how to use it?

When I got here (to Senior Star), I saw that a lot of people had iPads.

I spent a lot of time with one in my room, so I said, “Hey, why don’t we get together as a group and everybody can bring something to the table.” We decided we’d meet on Tuesday nights for one hour. I’m 86, and I’m a baby, ’cause most of them are in their 90s. Using an iPad in their 90s? That fascinated me.

What are the classes like?

We study one thing [at a time]. I know it might sound odd [to have a class] “How to turn an iPad on,” but it goes according to what we need to learn including: how to save documents; how to make a call on Facetime; how to get on the internet; how to send mail; and how to download programs from the app store. Each week, we just take on one of these subjects. And then, every few weeks, we just go back and review. Because people in their 90s, their memories are not too good. But it’s been going well.

How many are in the group?

We’ve got about seven. I personally went around and asked every person I saw with an iPad. Are your students picking it up pretty quickly?

I’ve got three women— Nancy, Mary Jo and Arlene— those three women are pretty sharp. They’re always asking questions, they’re kind of like me, hungry for the knowledge.

The rest of them, they’re totally out in left field, but we’re patient with them.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Anyone can... we need you!

Toledo Ranks 10th in Home-Buying Power

We need you for:

s Special Events s Adoption Events s Transportation s Truck Drivers s Office Volunteer s Cat Care Volunteer s & Crafters

By Chris Watson A recent survey by Smartassest.com surveyed 200 major cities and discovered that Toledo was No. 10 in a list of places where you can buy the most home with the locale’s median income. Translation? The average income earner has a better chance of affording a home in Toledo than in 190 other metropolitan areas.

Real translation? We live in an affordable neighborhood.

Northwest Ohio has always faced an image problem. We do, after all, live in the shadow of giants. Even with our good-sized population base, we are only the fourth largest city in Ohio. There are three cities (Columbus, Chicago, and Indianapolis) in the top 20 most populous cities in the country only half-a-day’s drive away.

If Toledo was to move to Michigan, we would be the second largest city in that state— by a comfortable margin of 90,000.

Numbers Don’t Lie Regardless of our population base, Northwest Ohio has a lot going for it. The detail is in the numbers. The Smartasset.com survey reveals a fundamental truth about community affordability. It isn’t a matter of what the average income is so much as what that income is compared to available house and their prices.

These numbers dovetail nicely into the metro area ratings at Forbes.com, which ranks Toledo No. 32 out of 200 in cost to do business. In other words, we are a bargain. Plus, also according to Forbes, the cost of living in our area is 14 percent below the national average. Our dollars go much farther than November 2017

almost anywhere else in the region.

We may not have an NFL franchise but an evening eating wings at a sports bar costs a lot less than any other regional metro area.

Safety as expected A recent survey by neighborhoodscout.com ranks Toledo No. 54 in the most dangerous places to live. That seems bad until you consider that Detroit, Cleveland and Canton all rank significantly higher. According to the US Census Bureau, we are the 72nd largest metro area in the country, proving that our reported crime rate is hardly out of line with our population ranking.

But let’s not quibble over “population density.” According to point2pointhomes.com, the personal crime risk in Northwest Ohio is half of the national average. The point? Once again, Toledo is a pretty nice place to live.

In summary...

As long as we are talking numbers, what is the bottom line? Our homes are affordable, our cost of living is reasonable, a business startup is achievable, and our crime rate doesn’t carry much impact. And if that doesn’t convince you of the advantages of living here in Northwest Ohio, we will give the final word to the market research at realtors.com. Over the last three years, the median cost of a home has gone up about 4 percent a year. Home prices haven’t gone down or been artificially inflated.

Northwest Ohio, a nice and affordable place to live.

Health Arthroscopic Surgery for Degenerative Knee Disease Called into Question

One of several treatments challenged

By Dr. Stephen Roberts, PhD According to Chad Terhune, Kaiser Health News, “Some experts estimate that at least $200 billion is wasted annually on excessive testing and treatment” of patients.

Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon and author, in a New Yorker article stated that, “Millions of people are receiving drugs that aren’t helping them, operations that aren’t going to make them better, and scans and tests that do nothing beneficial for them, and often cause harm.”

The Lown Institute describes reasons for overuse of medical treatments: Indication creep— when a drug or treatment is used for healthier people after it has been used for sicker patients.

Preference misdiagnosis— physician uses a remedy preferred by him/her instead of that which is the very best for the patient.

Fear of lawsuits if drug or

treatment not used.

Patient demand for a particular

drug or treatment.

Financial needs of hospitals and doctors causes unnecessary remedies

to be used.

Tests called into question by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation include PET scans to diagnose Alzheimer’s, MRI for lower back pain, Colonoscopy after 75, the PAP smear every year instead of every three, and the yearly physical.

One procedure that has gained increasing attention in recent years because of apparent overuse is arthroscopic surgery for degenerative knee disease (AKS). This procedure is performed more than 2 million times a year across the world and costs more than $3 billion annually in the United States.

Researchers from multiple institutions, as reported in the May 2017 issue of the British Medical Journal, have come to the conclusion that knee surgery “does not, on average, result in an improvement in long term pain or function.”

www.mlivingnews.com

Degenerative knee disease, according to the authors, involves a patient with knee pain that has at least one of the following characteristic: n Evidence of osteoarthritis n Meniscus tears n Locking, clicking or other mechanical knee symptoms Dr. Glenn E. Whitted, an orthopedic surgeon, works at the Toledo Clinic where he performs arthroscopic surgery of the knee, among other procedures.

Whitted states “most general orthopedists would agree, from their own experience, that arthritic patients do not do especially well with a knee scope, regardless of diagnosis, unless they have a very prominent mechanical component of knee trouble.”

Whitted is aware of some doctors who use knee pain and “the most minor of MRI findings” to select patients for AKS. “Many people fail treatment under these conditions … since the treatment doesn’t fit the problem,” he explains.

According to the British Medical Journal article, AKS can also result in other negative outcomes: n Significant cost n Follow-up wound care n Follow-up physiotherapy n Recovery of two to six weeks n Time off work n Driving limited n Avoidance of strenuous activity Whitted does feel that, in many cases, injection therapy with cortisone or lubricants as well as physical therapy can be very helpful. Knee replacement is a possible option if other strategies are not successful.

When confronted with the possibility of arthroscopic knee surgery, also consider the less traumatic procedures mentioned above.

Thanksgiving 2017 Lunch at The Hunt Center

SATURDAY NOV. 11, 10AM TO 2PM

NOVEMBER 23, 2017 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Parkway Place, 2592 Parkway Plaza, Maumee, OH 43537

Whether you take your loved one to doctor appointments, pick up their prescriptions, help with their grocery shopping and pay their bills, this event is for you to help you find solutions to reduce the stress that often accompanies your caregiving role. This is a chance for you to find the help and resources you need as a caregiver. Many people may not realize the important role that those who care for family members, or friends, play in our communities. Not only do caregivers contribute to the health and well-being of their loved ones, but the ones needing care are able to stay in their own homes where they consistently say they truly prefer to be. It is because of the stresses and strains on the financial, emotional and physical well-being of caregivers that the Area Office on Aging has the Family Caregiver Support Program to give family caregivers a temporary break from their caregiving duties so they do not prematurely have to stop giving the care they provide. We realize that many of you take on the duties of a caregiver because you view it as a privilege and an honor to care for your parents, spouse or other loved one; but we also know that it is often a tiring and difficult situation.

Join us for a delicious Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings at The Margaret Hunt Senior Center. Lunch will be served from 11:30 am12:30 pm on November 23, 2017.

To register please call 419-382-5791.

Bar 145° is gourmet burger fun Get your bourbon, band and meat fix on Monroe St.

By Jeff Klima Some days, you just want a great hamburger. There’s something about the combination of ground beef and a bun that hits the spot, no questions asked. On those days, turn your attention to Bar 145° to find one of the best burgers in town. The restaurant, which takes its name from the optimal temperature for a medium rare hamburger, specializes in burger building and takes its craft seriously. Offering a selection of classic options for those who just want something familiar, Bar 145° provides a great no-fuss option for a solid lunch or dinner.

If you really love exploring the intricacies and limits of what a hamburger can be, that’s where Bar 145° excels! With the Stack Your Own burger option, you can become a Dagwood Bumstead of sorts, switching out toppings in order to build the hamburger of your dreams. Featuring an assortment of buns, cheeses, sauces, veggies and speciality items including pork belly, duck confit, fruit preserves and pulled beef cheek, you can stack your meal as high as your budget allows. It’s a fantastic (and dangerous) option to have, especially when you’re dining out with some big appetites. And there are an assortment of good, fresh options available if it isn’t a “hamburger kind of day.”

Island fun

The brainchild of Jeremy Fitzgerald and George Simon, Bar 145°, which opened in May of 2011, brings the fun of Fitzgerald’s bar/restaurant upbringing on Put-in-Bay Island to Toledo. “My family owns bars on Put-in-Bay. I grew up on Put-in-Bay and ran Mr. Ed’s and the Commodore Hotel. I started working there when I was 13 years old. I started at the bottom, doing dishes, worked in the kitchen for three to four years, was a server, tended bar… but mainly, I wanted to learn the business. I went to college, got a hospital-

ity degree at Bowling Green, and bought a Subway franchise on Put-in-Bay because I wanted to see how a corporate restaurant was run.”

Fitzgerald wanted a family though and, as he termed it, “I couldn’t stay married if I stayed on Put-in-Bay.” He came mainland and found the ideal spot to open his restaurant, partnering up with the owner of the space, Simon, a Put-in-Bay regular, to make it a reality. “Basic bar food taken to the next level is what I wanted,” says Fitzgerald. “It’s not your basic mac and cheese; we add maple syrup and bacon to it.”

The duo, who has since opened several other Bar 145° restaurants around the region, has found the secret to success with their gourmet ingredients served in an environment that’s welcoming to a “business class” diner. “[My thought was] Toledo needs a business clientele bar/restaurant, that really targeted more the business professional— not the college people, not the sports people. I just wanted something different,” Fitzgerald said.

Entertainment options

Aside from the burgers, Bar 145°’s other major draw is their bourbons. The bar’s liquor menu is stacked with over 40 bourbon selections, and for the international whiskey enthusiast, there’s another 40 or so ryes, scotches, irish blends and more. This place knows their grain drinks and the pours are fair. And if you’re into live music, the stage, in the evening, is seldom empty. “We do full bands Fridays and Saturdays, but we have music Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,” Fitzgerald assures us.

If you want to feel really nostalgic, Bar 145° has opened their version of a bar arcade, Reset, next door. Full of classic games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, The Simpsons and more, this allows you to bring the grandkids in for a little fun on their own, or you can play right alongside them.

As Fitzgerald explains, “It’s not just a restaurant; Bar 145° is an experience.” And it’s an experience you should definitely try for yourself— especially the Bourbon Cookie Skillet Sundae.

Bar 145° in Toledo is located at 5305 Monroe St. Open 11:30am-2am Monday through Sunday.

John and Deb Joslin

Historical Traditions

By Pat Nowak

A Perrysburg house also built in 1868 certainly has longevity but our Mhome also has historical charisma and amazing vitality too. The house is full of charming alcoves and updated amenities. When Deb and John Joslin found this house they loved it and purchased it immediately.

The rooms flow seamlessly into one another where hardwood floors, covered with oriental rugs, complement the decor.

The furniture and lighting take on a distinct aged look, so perfect in the overall decorating style. The owners had very little to do when they purchased the home.

The kitchen is stylishly up to date but the basement is only accessible through a door in the floor and the attic steps are quite narrow. Historical homes such as this one are timeless because of their remarkable construction and their exceptional charm.
