Wednesday The Other Toledo linked to a post naming this town as one of the 15 Coolest Towns in Washington (here).
Thursday TOT congratulated the Community Library on their $750 grant from Northwest Farm Credit Services to upgrade technology (link here).
Today Toledo is Cool and Connected, named one of 5 small communities awarded planning assistance to help people use broadband service for downtown revitalization and economic development. Toledo High School alum Larry Davidson, currently of Colorado with property and plans to retire here in Toledo, gets credit for alerting ToledoTel, vision:Toledo and the city to this grant opportunity and offering to write the letter of interest to the EPA. Details here.
As Mike Morgan said, “it appears that Toledo is not only one of the ‘15 Coolest Small Towns in Washington’ but also in the U.S.A.”

Tomato and basil plants of various types and sizes from Native Soil Farm’s Thursday Sale.
Review: Stopped by Native Soil Farm Thursday for Billie Washington’s flash one-day sale of several varieties of tomato, pepper and herb plants. Several others came and went while I dithered over the hundreds of choices. In the end, I opted for some sturdy-looking “orphan” tomatoes of uncertain heritage and some gorgeous basil. Then I shared a few plants.
