We're in Briargate area, not too many issues, have had some hair-raising experiences in the past, but nothing real recent. Most issues have been either drug or gang related.
Pfft, whatever, Josh. Spend a week in Aurora.
The Briargate area is nice. The only thing I worry about is the stupid kids in the neighborhood running around in the street. Oh, and we had a car that caught on fire because there was a moth inside the vehicle, the teenage girl driving freaked out and ran into a tree. Her car caught on fire. I thought I heard gunshots, but it was just her tires exploding.
That's a no shitter. I don't even drive through that shit-hole unless it's absolutely unavoidable. When I do...there's a long-gun in the car in combination with my CCW and my head is on a swivel. (I also make sure I have a friend in the car who is a shooter as well, simply because driving and shooting is a real bitch [Driveby2]Quote:

I'm in Pleasant Valley (north of Old Colorado City, southeast of the Garden of the Gods. So basically central-west side) While there is a bit more crime in OCC, it rarely makes its way into PV (and when it does it strikes in the southern part, south of Fontanero more than it does up by Howbert Elementary where I live and even then it's usually minor stuff like car breakins).
Crime issues aside, there really is no good reason to go to the southeast part of town.
What about the airport? [Coffee]Quote:

Colfax and Moline. Pretty much dead center of the free fire zone. I live about 6 miles east of there, and it's downright boring.Quote:
