One down, two to go haha.

Been waiting for a chance to get this one in the air, and unfortunately I have been waiting so long that I forgot the battery had it laterally out of balance- so when it took off, it immediately started to roll, and there was no saving it. Didn't get 6 feet in the air before it made its fateful plunge lol.

It'll fly again though

The Park inn is booked solid :-(.. Looking for another alternative. The Crown Plaza is $129 a night and only 0.3 miles away a 6 minute walk.

What else is close.. walking distance

I'll try and help u guys the best I can. Nothing walking distance from the show besides those two. Most years most vendors take to many rooms and cancel when they arrive. So sometimes the Park Inn has rooms Friday. Some of the people that help out at the ETOC are staying out by Perrysburg. Only 10 minutes from Seagate and not the $$$$ like downtown. Nice places to eat also. Also 475 & Airport Hwy. but that is about 15 minutes. Or try this link http://toledoshow.com/index.cfm?p=page&id=10

Thanks Tom -

I will take a look. We don't mind driving since we will be in the convention center all day.

How far is ETOC from the Weak Signal Toledo show ?
