CINCINNATI (AP) - Some residents are singing
the blues over an insufficient number of toilets for music shows at a
Cincinnati park.
The annual MidPoint Music
Festival this weekend brings thousands of people to Washington Park and
other Cincinnati venues. That worries nearby residents who say visitors
to big music shows at the park have been known to use their yards and
fences for bathrooms.
The sponsor tells The Cincinnati Enquirer it takes concerns seriously. Ten portable toilets were rented to supplement park restrooms for the event.
A restroom trade group says
for an event drawing 5,000 people for four to six hours with alcohol,
it recommends 30 toilets for women and nine toilets and 23 urinals for
men. The Cincinnati event has less than half that capacity.
