The former Caesar's Show
Bar, a well-known vacant building in downtown Toledo, is showing its age and
may be dangerous to the public.
The building, located at
the corner of Jefferson and Ontario, is surrounded by saw-horses and scattered
debris – sign that the exterior is crumbling. A section of the façade on top
has already broken off, and another section is being supported by a metal pole.
The mayor's office
reported that the building has been condemned, and the building's owner has
been notified of the situation.
No additional safety
measures have been taken to secure the building, and some people worry other
portions of the building will fall and hurt pedestrians or vehicles.
"The bricks look like they're
ready to fall apart," said Mario Casiano. "They need to patch it up or
something. It's a nice building, but if it's dangerous, it's dangerous."
