As Toledoans close out 2017, they look forward to a new year with hope — hope because of a growing local econ-

omy, a new Jeep Wrangler we can all be proud of, a new mayor with ideas for a better future, and a downtown that is home to thousands of new residents.

At the heart of that downtown revitalization is ProMedica’s new headquarters next to Prome-nade Park along the Maumee River. The park’s redevelopment, which we can thank ProMed-ica’s CEO Randy Oostra for, is our setting for this year’s Finding Nellie, a whimsical scene where you’ll find many of the area’s movers and shakers, past and present. While you’re looking for your favorite notable, don’t forget to seek out Nellie, The Blade’s favorite bas-sett hound with a real nose for news. A hint: you’ll find her next to her human companions — Blade Publisher and Editor-in-Chief John Robinson Block and daughter Caroline.
