And if you see a much newer lifted and modded olive green four-door Wrangler parked in the lot, it probably means that Crissy’s there. Crissy “Skinny Pedal” Antoine owns and runs the bar, and she wants people to know that everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or what they drive. “We’re not a private club or an exclusive place,” she said emphatically.

Popular Mexican food truck plans expansion; feedback on locations sought
Tacos El Junior, a widely popular food truck based at 1107 Broadway St. in South Toledo, will soon become two trucks. Owner Jose Merino, known as “Junior,” announced the second truck on Facebook on Sunday. “Thank you to everyone Tacos El Junior #2 will be opening very soon,” Mr. Merino wrote. “If you have any recommendations on where we should park everyday please let us know. Stay in the south end or go to another side of Toledo?” “The comments have been coming in and so far, many people, 90 percent, think the truck should be in West Toledo,” Mr. Merino said. “I am still looking at the comments and deciding. Also, if people have suggestions concerning new food items they would like to see, they can post that as well. I have three weeks yet before the truck is inspected, so there is time to make a decision.”
