The new classic: Wood County couple opens vintage automobile museum
MILLBURY, Ohio — As Tammy and Mike Bartlett have spent over two decades collecting cars, their passion has grown from storing their collection in one garage, to building a larger one, yet outgrowing both spaces. Now the pair is showcasing their collectables in a museum for the public to view. The Millbury Classic Cars and Trucks museum, located at 26929 Cummings Rd., features close to 85 cars and trucks on display, said co-owner Tammy Bartlett, along with vintage and neon signs, gas pumps, bikes, and mannequins. “It really never intended to be a car museum in the beginning, but as our collection and our love for purchasing cars just kept growing,” she continued, “we've decided, you know, it would be really nice to share everything with the public.” Besides the classic car museum in Bowling Green, Snook’s Dream Cars, Bartlett said there’s nothing quite like this in the northwest region of Ohio.

Chinese sister city delegation coming to Toledo
A delegation from Nanchong, China, will visit Toledo on Monday. While tensions between the United States and China may be high as national politicians threaten trade wars and arm themselves in the Taiwan Strait, the cities are looking forward to renewing their friendship. “Given that this is a visit with Chinese officials and a Chinese sister city, I think that there is an additional layer to this visit,” Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said. “Whatever the national politicians might have to say about China, I think at the grassroots level here in Toledo, we can transcend a lot of that just by focusing on the human needs that all people have whether they’re Chinese or American.” He went on to talk about the importance of bringing the delegation to the middle of the country, to give them a fuller picture of what American life actually entails outside of the coasts that receive much of the media attention. While much of the visit will focus on simply getting to know Nanchong’s new mayor, Yin Nianhong, he hopes that visiting Toledo will shed new light on how the trade war affects midwestern cities.
