Ed Beczynski is running for Toledo city council and he's also opening a grocery store downtown. You can't vote for him fast enough after hearing that, right!?

Settle in for a LONG episode to hear Ed's Toledo perspectives and how he may be asset in city government.

If that's not enough, Ed also lives in my old place downtown, and he owns the Blarney and Focaccia's.

To be totally candid, I don't know which of the incumbents I wouldn't vote for, but I can easily see myself giving Ed my vote.
