Traffic management is a major concern, said Cincinnati Police Lt. Paul Humphries. The demographics of the crowd attracted by Tall Stacks mean it's not bad duty, said Lt. Humphries, and officers volunteered to work the event. It poses challenges in managing traffic, which includes a number of charter buses and shuttles. But with construction and everything, you're putting 10 pounds in a 5-pound bag. It's a very nice crowd.
Officers love interacting with people like that.
Joggers wove through the crowd Tuesday and the riverfront buzzed with children, volunteers and busy deck hands. Aboard the Jonathan Padelford, Terry Henry was mopping and sweeping. Hard work doesn't bother the bartender and deckhand who wore a feather in her hair. The Cincinnati Enquirer , a Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper.
