“LoDo?”
Had to look it up myself. Apparently it’s cutsie-pie speak for “lower downtown.” Last time I was there, about four years ago, I found it advisable to take my knife from my pocket and give a thug “the look.”
I was driving trucks, so no gun.
I was a Denver firefighter for 35 years...
You are correct about the term LODO being cutsie-poo urban progressive-speak for lower downtown...
What is now “LODO” was a skid row area until redevelopment began about 30 years ago...
It’s now higher end shops, bars, restaurants and apartment/condo, mixed occupancy area favored by the urban chic and hipster set...
Sales tax/cash generator for the city of Denver, so the powers that be hush-hush the trouble that brews there...
Can be a fun area during the day, but also problematic after dark, after ball games, weekends, any time or where alcohol fueled crowds congregate...
i drove a long haul truck for 30 years,always had a gun.had to use a couple of times.retired in 92 guess it’s a lot different now.
