Is it me, or are there increasing amounts of degeneracy down there?
It's just you.. in fact, walking down 16th street mall I saw a unicorn shitting a rainbow.
There was an interview with whatever the mayors name was the other day.. I watched the cliff notes.. no idea wtf he's doing about the problem.
Same thing they've been doing since hicksoner was in office. NOTHING. It's impossible to blame the "random criminal acts" that have been reported on gangs, especially those associated with 5 points. Or are as the some on Talk Radio would have you believe, Racially Motivated attacks targeting whites.Quote:

The average person who visits that area is more of the snowflake type who feels downtown is a rich & vibrant melding of diverse cultures & people. Not saying it's not a bad area for anyone to take a trip to.Quote:

We haven't been to that area for 5 - 6 years now. Even them it wasn't a place we would suggest tourist visit.
I do pass that area 1-2x a month during the day. Both the spouse & i are armed and doors locked. Then again, anytime we travel that's basic O.P.
You know, it doesn’t matter what they took, my purse, that is of no value to me,” she said. “The way they made me feel and the way they made him feel, that’s just not fair,” she said. “They shouldn’t be allowed to be free and to do that to somebody else.”Quote:

Who goes to downtown Denver? I avoid the city like the plague and have no use for anything there with the possible exception of Comic Con (and even that is getting too crowded for my tastes).
Easy stance to have living in the Springs. The one time I met you, it was on the steps of the Capital. :p
Who all works down here? Maybe we can all get together for lunch?
"In a panic, she blacked out". She forgot to piss herself to further enforce her feelings towards the robbery. They got away from this easy. Could've ended worse. And this is somehow news?
Nope, it ain't just you.Quote:

This will be the first year since 2002 that I won't buy Rockies tickets. Every year of the last four it has got progressively worse anywhere downtown. We always liked to go down early before games and eat at different restaurants. Now, no place to park or you can't afford parking. You can't get in the door of most places, when you do everybody is rude, plus I can no longer carry to Coors Field. Downtown has turned into a place I no longer recognize nor wish to contribute. So yes degeneracy is just one thing on a long list of issues, I'm done with it. And the way building is going on around there this cluster F is just the beginning.
I bet that giving just one of the eight some extra breathing holes would make the rest scatter pretty fast.
17th and California

But I can't imagine the risk of going downtown after dark these days without a sidearm and the knowledge to use it. At the very absolute least, an extensive boxing/wrestling background.
For such a small city, Denver sure is trying to emulate the petty assault and property crime of the big boys quickly.
Makes me glad I did my partying down there 10 years ago.
I don't work down there..but I'm down there A LOT for work. Bets on no one else being able to carry at work?Quote:

Denver is pretty tame for a larger city. Go out downtown on holiday nights? Walk alleys at 11pm? Have no situational awareness? Walk the streets intoxicated? Advertise yourself as a target and you'll soon become one.

You would lose that bet. I work downtown and carry. Moreover I carry with the full knowledge and blessings of my boss.Quote:

This. My wife & I go downtown from time to time. I'm always, sober, armed & aware of my surroundings. But we still have a good time.Quote:

My dad used to tell me (when I was wild and young)that nothing good ever happens after midnight.
I didn't listen to him back then but now I kind of know what he meant.
On an off topic but related note, I see they are doing a musical version of "A Christmas Story" at the Buell. Might have to take the wife down there for that and dinner.
Johns Manville Building... 3rd Floor ;)Quote:
