So what are speedies? I might just tell you what rocky mountain oysters are....
I know what Rocky Mountain Oysters are. I am not a city kid!! "Speedies" are a way of fixing venison. Small stew size chunks, different marinades then done over a charcoal grill, on a skewer. Many different flavors. Very good with beer etc. They have a big "Speedie Festival" around Binghampton, NY every year.

Yea there are warmer climates. What I liked about Toledo was the people were really nice. I made a fair amount of friends in just a short time there. I liked how it's the most southern place to get CBC out of Canada (hockey fan here). I liked how it had some big city things w/out having the traffic of a big city. I liked how there was a mix of Michigan & Ohio State fans. Back then we were beating the snot out of em so I might think differently about that now though.
For someone from Michigan it's actually a bit warmer. Not like I'd wear shorts in the winter or anything, but a bit better climate than where I'm at now.

Sitting here in Indiana in 15 degree weather I have to ask. Why would anyone move to Toledo? I can think of plenty of places south of there or here for that matter that would work well.
Now if your crazy enough to live your winters where OVM does I guess I could understand moving to Toledo.

Oh, meant to add one other thing. WIOT (104.7) is in Toledo. IMO one of the great stations in the country. When I had to leave Toledo & get in the Detroit area I actually drove around to make sure I wasn't living out of the reception area of that station.
With the internet I imagine ya can get it from anywhere now. Back then though the internet was just starting up. So it wasn't possible at that time.

OMG.......I doubt that I'll ever be able to eat again! Blows my mind that people really eat that stuff. Ok....granted I was born & raised in the city then moved to the country in my later years but still.........
