The Crowne Plaza is a good hotel. I didn't have a problem walking around at night. I found Chinese food and a KFC that I walked to at night. I don't know, I'm from Brooklyn so I guess what some consider a rough neighborhood is relative but I only saw one crack head and only one dude asked me for "a dolla". I gave up the "dolla" got his name and my temporary ghetto pass and was on my way.
Something about that town that I like. I don't know if it's the food, the music...something but I had a good time while I was there.
