[CQ-Contest] Room Reservations for Dayton 2020 at the CrownePlaza hotel in downtown Dayton

[Edward Sawyer]

My point was that "ubering out" to a different hotel could be a better solution than walking around the CP area.  Times have changed, yes.  So have ways to deal with times changing.

I personally know of two assaults on contesters, one requiring medical attention, within the immediate area around the CP last year. My last trip to Dayton in 2018 I was with the K9PG group dining at a great BBQ place south of the CP and it was just starting to get 'sketchy' then. (we never did find a good place that sold milk shakes afterwards) Stay in groups and be aware of your surroundings.

I believe in sharing the road with other drivers.  They can have the part behind me.
