Hello, Toledo! I'm Nicole and I'm filling in for your usual curator Brad King for the next few days. Please note that your newsletters may be a bit lighter during this time. Now, here are all the most important things to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

Times of sun and clouds. High: 71 Low: 56.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Toledo who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Toledo Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Toledo:

1. The University of Toledo has made the U.S. News & World Report's college ranking list for the first time ever.
