Will Toledo dive or soar?

Toledo, Ohio has the Maumee River, location, etc. but it seems almost every dazzling proposal ends up being a dud. There's a depressing loser spirit or something restraining Toledo from greatness. Carty Finkbeiner has his good and bad points, but if he wasn't able to get Toledo to soar, being so gung-ho for Toledo, who can?
