John Eikost with his #ToledoLovesGloves donation box at the corner of 12th and Adams, adjacent to the iconic "Toledo Loves Love" uptown mural. Mr. Eikhost originally misread the “Toledo Loves Love” wall when it was painted two years ago. But, he had an idea to help keep Toledo’s less fortunate warm. He persuaded the mural artists to also paint the bin, and now it has sat helping for two winters.
