I live downtown near the mission (right behind Peace in Medicine) and I've gotta dodge the crackheads, pimps, prostitutes, spare changers, etc. Especially at night. We've had cars broken into or spray painted. My girlfriend has been followed on a few occasions but nothing serious. But I've never been in any danger. All summer long gang members were beating and robbing whites and mexicans, but they all got rounded up in an FBI sting.

Areas of Five Points can be a little sketchy at night. East Colfax is a little rough around Havana, but not much to worry about. 14th Ave and sometimes 16th Ave (one block off Colfax) from Broadway to Downing in Cap Hill is sketchy at nite. Plenty of people get mugged and beat. I've known a few friends to get jacked. Colfax isn't bad because so many cops patrol it.

Other than that, I know of no other places I'd try to avoid.

If you're going to open a storefront, make sure security is tight because there have been a total of 13 robberies/break-ins in the Denver Metro area this year.

Oh, and Lakewood and Aurora cops are brutal. Travel lightly.
Dietblonde Reviewed by Dietblonde on . Hello Colorado!!! So its official, I am moving to Colorado on the 14th of January. I know everyone says stay home don't bother but Oklahoma is terrible. We finally have the capital to start a legit grow and even open a storefront. We already signed our lease in Golden and will be moving up soon. I have a few questions... is 4x4 needed in the weather? Isn't Golden a very MMJ friendly city? What places in Denver to avoid? Any tips or any helpful info would be great! thanks in advance!! Rating: 5
