Hi Jeff. I was recounting the descriptions of this past year's experiences.
The same one's that Tim was discussing. The hotel feels that things will be
better next year. Maybe they will. My only point was that, staying at the
Crown isn’t the only way to enjoy the events at the Crown.

hotel in downtown Dayton
Ed,
Curious what is the situation is that you mentioned around the Crowne Plaza?
I'm from Ohio and as far as I know the area (The Oregon
District) where the shooting took place is not a bad area. In fact I think the
restaurants and bars in that area are more upscale. There is a very nice Thai
restaurant (Thai 9) in that area where K9PG and his friends go to every year
during the Hamvention.
That area of downtown is probably safer when compared to any other major city
in the US. What happened in Dayton was bad but it could have happened anywhere .
