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.

hotel in downtown Dayton
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.
