What part of the city was affected the worst by tourism?

Janice pulled her car into the narrow street that led to her office building and immediately came to a complete stop. Cars were lined up in both directions as far as she could see. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel and wanted to back up and take a different road, but someone was already behind her and she was trapped. Traffic inched forward slowly and Janice watched the clock tick closer to the time she needed to be at work. She was going to be late again.

Paul pulled his street cleaner onto Main Street and almost dropped his coffee when he saw the state it was in. Plastic water bottles and cardboard coffee cups were strewn all over the wide, beautiful street. There were old receipts from souvenir shops stuck in the flower pots and piles of old papers, chips wrappers and plastic bags blowing into the gutters. Paul sighed and pulled out his broom. The street cleaning machine could pick up small amounts of litter, but there was no way it could deal with this level of rubbish.

“Karyn, Jim, sit down a minute. I’ve got a complaint here we need to discuss,” the chief pulled some papers from a pile and looked them over before she continued. “A Mr. Janssen made a report last night at ten o’clock about a party going on outside his building. Why did no one respond?” Karyn looked at Jim for support before she took a deep breath and began to explain. “You have no idea about the chaos that is going on out there, do you?” The chief gave her a questioning look. “Why don’t you try to explain it to me?”
