DANGERS & ANNOYANCES
For a large city, Denver is pretty darned safe. LoDo, downtown, Highlands and Cherry
Creek are safe both day and night. You may wish to excercise greater caution if you ven-
ture into the Five Points and RiNo Districts east of Park Avenue at night. Other than that,
big-city smarts are the rule.
INTERNET ACCESS
If you're traveling with a laptop, you'll have no trouble finding wi-fi: it's nearly ubiquit-
ous in Denver's restaurants, bars and cafes. There is also free wi-fi on the 16th St Mall. If
you're not traveling with a computer, things get a bit more tricky, but there are free com-
puter terminals inside almost every Denver Public Library (
