Toledo Tales

(Toledo, OH) Mayoral candidate Keith Wilkowski is keeping his vow to run - literally - for the city's highest office.

This week he spent much of his time running through Toledo's impoverished cental city, racking up over 40 miles in his effort to cover the entire city before the September 13 primary.

Lincoln Street resident Martin Williams noticed the candidate.

"Why's that fool running down the street?" he queried, squinting into the early morning sun. "He steal some hubcaps or something?"

Pausing for a quick drink of water, Wilkowski said that his daily sojourns have brought him encouragement from the voters.

"Just this morning, some friendly young man told me: 'You'd better be running!'" he said. "It's words like those that keep me going."

A Hollywood Avenue resident, who goes by the name of "Little G", was surprised to see the mayoral candidate on his street.

"Damn, that's some crazy shit," he said. "Motherfucker be running like a crackhead stepping on a beehive."
