People of Cincinnati and visitors to our fair city.  Will you please throw your garbage in a trash can when attending Taste of Cincinnati?  You know, those round or square containers that are placed every 15 or so feet?

Yes, I know people clean up after the festival, but what is so difficult in throwing your garbage away so that what little seating is available is somewhat sittable?

Also, I didn't see any recycling bins for plastic bottles.  Pretty bad, especially since they were selling all soft drinks in plastic bottles.

Overall, I felt that the food was mediocre.  Good and distinctive restaurants don't need Taste of Cincinnati for exposure and so they don't participate.
