Denver is justly proud of the 16th Street Mall. It's about a mile long, closed to vehicles except for free small hybrid busses that cruise the avenue until late at night. Tables and chess sets are available for those who want to linger and enjoy the stunning array of potted flowers and just people watch. I don't know if things have been spruced up especially for the convention, but it's quite pleasant. There are some panhandlers, but not nearly as many as other American cities of similar size. I'm sure the social service agencies are gearing up for many crises and special situations caused by the dramatic influx of people this weekend.
