Complaints are reemerging about holding Riot Fest in Douglass Park again this year.
The three-day September music festival is routinely held in the North Lawndale park, and attracts big headliners like Foo Fighters and The Cure.
"This is not about a party in the park, this is about health and safety," said Denis Ferguson, Lawndale resident. "At different edges of this park, we have St. Anthony and Mount Sinai hospitals, both of these hospitals for their own reasons are key points in the healthcare infrastructure of Chicago," said Marcus Paulson, EMT. "For these patients, mere minutes could determine their outcome - the difference between life, disability and death."
