       | Quick background for people thinking to themselves "Toledo?
       | What?" Toledo OH used to be a fairly wealthy industrial city
       | (second tier to cities like Detroit, Cleveland, etc.) with a
       | fairly wealthy business class. As a result, the city zoo and art
       | museum is better than expected for a city of its size and current
       | economic status.

         | most of high school.

       | light from living organisms), and not _bioluminescence_
       | (biochemical emission of light by living organisms such as
       | fireflies).
