Mobile ticket
Welcome to the Unholy Toledo Tour! Take a self-guided drive through the bloody history of 1930s gangland. Experience the magic of GPS playback while you hear from Tedd Long, writer and curator of Holy Toledo History.
In 1931, during the era of G-Men, speakeasies, and Pretty Boy Floyd, a gang of Detroit wiseguys led by Thomas “Yonnie” Licavoli arrived in Toledo and brought with them a wave of violence unseen in Toledo's past: 14 murders in 36 months. Are you ready for the inside story?
The most sensational crime of the era happened in July 1933 when a young club owner and bootlegger named Jack Kennedy was gunned down in Point Place. This tour tells Jack's story, from start to finish, over the course of a two-hour-long driving tour covering the downtown area and northern Toledo.

5.00OMG! This was amazing! The narrative did such an awesome job! Directions were very easy to follow, his pronunciation is great & the way he articulated the story made me feel like me and my girlfriend were actually there in the era! The narrative voice is so impactful that each stop felt like we time traveled and was witnessing the events in REAL TIME! 10/10 and would recommend to anyone I know that likes history especially in there own city, if not more around the world!
Rather boring directions...
