Reddit Roundup
Over on R Lexington right now, people are talking about what sounds like a pretty rough night at Gatton Park for the ZZ Top and Dwight Yoakam show.
Oh no, what happened?
One resident posted about how poorly managed the whole event was, and honestly the details sound pretty miserable. Apparently there were only fourteen portable restrooms for over four thousand people, and the regular park bathrooms were reserved just for VIP ticket holders.
Wait, so if you didn't pay extra, you had to wait in those massive porta-potty lines? That's rough.
Exactly. One commenter said they waited forty minutes just to use the restroom, and the line kept getting longer. Another person called it disgusting that you basically had to pay hundreds extra just to avoid using a plastic box.
For a venue that size, that seems like a real planning issue. What else are folks saying?
Even people who paid for premium seating were frustrated. Someone mentioned they bought front row patio tickets but still couldn't see because people were standing in front of them, and security wasn't really managing it.
Speaking of local concerns, there's also discussion about that apartment situation at Casa Mia where a concrete walkway collapsed.
Right, a third floor walkway fell onto the one below it. One commenter mentioned they weren't surprised, saying the place has been looking like a disaster waiting to happen for years.
That's what Lexington is talking about this morning. We'll check back in with the neighborhood discussion a bit later.
