Google really likes Toledo

Google has just rolled out an update to the Google Maps Street View system that includes "almost the entire US".

However, in looking at the coverage of Ohio, the coverage of Cleveland seems to be sorely falling behind Toledo:



As you can see by the coverage map, the entire Toledo area, including surrounding communities is included in Google Street View. However, for Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati, the surrounding areas are not nearly as thoroughly covered.

The Google driver who covered the Marietta area made some very interesting designs, but what is there in Southeastern Ohio to photograph?

Sidenote: Some of the paths that that Google has covered are kind of interesting. Sometimes, they'll just drive in a straight line and then the coverage will just stop. Other times, you can see that they do a circular path and then must have headed back the way they came. And other times it looks like the Google cars just go on random road trips.
