Local man joins 145-mile run 4 years after MS diagnosis
When he was starting his treatment for multiple sclerosis, he dressed as the superhero Captain America to get a medical injection. Perrysburg resident Matthew Knaggs receives one every six months. “I did it at first to tell my kids I’m getting super soldier serum because it’s kind of a scary thing and I’m like, ‘No, dad’s cool,’” Mr. Knaggs laughed as he recalled. Like the Marvel superhero, Mr. Knaggs looks to inspire others living with multiple sclerosis. He’ll seek to do it by running 145 miles as part of a 3,230-mile relay hosted by MS Run the US, a nonprofit that raises awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis research.

Original Sub Shop provides upgraded lunch fare
The Original Sub Shop & Deli in Toledo is a simple restaurant — most of the menu consists of sandwiches, as the name suggests, and it’s only open during lunch hours from Tuesday through Saturday — but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a visit. The ambience inside is very welcoming, with plenty of artwork, plants, and a surprising amount of seating for such a small building. It manages to feel busy without being overwhelming or crowded, and the layout allows most of the tables to stay out of the way of the steady stream of people grabbing to-go orders. Overall, it’s a nice place to be. But the most important thing about the place is its sandwiches. Most of the menu can be had on their All Crumbs Artisan Bakery sub bread, but can also be ordered on rye bread or as a panini. The sub bread is good, not great, but definitely serviceable. And, more importantly, it’s sturdy, able to handle whatever they stuff in it without falling apart or spilling toppings everywhere.
Mayflies on the move: The nuisance with an ecological benefit

Stories of the Glass City now glow through art
An immersive lighted art installation integrated into the landscape of the Glass City Metropark has been unveiled. Metroparks Toledo Foundation hosted a private gathering Wednesday to dedicate “Field of Histories,” which is made up of nearly 200 lighted glass orbs on posts. The center of each orb holds a laser-engraved image of an object identified by a community member during public workshops. “I just had this thought, this picture of people walking a path through these things sprouting from the ground, like long stalks of flowers with these orbs on the top,” said Bryony Roberts, the project’s New York-based artist and visionary. The project began with an in-depth community engagement process where individuals from Toledo brought objects they feel are significant to themselves and to local history.
