Buildings too close w/o Firewalls
Buildings seem too close without firewalls.
During the process of purchasing my building from Jim and Marlena Walls, I was informed that the building was in full compliance with fire code. In fact, that building was the basis on which the construction manual for the Ohio Renaissance Festival was created. Jim Walls, one of the former Craft Directors, had been with the Ohio Renaissance Festival for years. He informed me that back in the day, the local municipality insisted on building code being met. For that reason, my building was equipped with a proper firewall, hardwired smoke detectors in every room, a circuit breaker box, proper underground wiring, an occupancy permit, and records of inspection.
Rotting food dumped in creek.
Food dumped in Creek
I have told you about the showers at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I have told you about the accusations that toxic chemicals were dumped into the creek. Now I am going to tell you about rotting food being dumped routinely into the creek, left there to rot and attract pests which threaten the health of customers and participants. I am speaking of the rotten tomatoes which I have seen literally fill portions of the creek bed which runs through the Ohio Renaissance Festival.
Vision Hazard
Chances are you would never think that you were at risk of loosing your vision if you attended a public attraction like the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Chances are, you believe that the owners of such events are concerned about their customer’s vision or at minimum about prevent law suits. Chances are you are right. Well, I think you would be right if the owner(s), staff, and management of such an event were competent. Unfortunately for people who attend and participate in the Ohio Renaissance Festival, I do not think the owner is competent enough to make such decisions and I think his poor judgement is forced on his staff and management.
