You talking about downtown, or by the fairgrounds? Is there still that KOA
campground down the road from the fairgrounds? That seemed a bit shady.
Downtown I remember walking at night from the Shiloh to the Einsteins. Cops
seems to like bagels at all hours. Probably because SLC doesn’t seem to have
donuts. Mmmm, bagels.
Back when they had us stay at I think it was a Quality Inn, the biggest danger
seemed to be crossing the street, drivers seemed a little crazy. Oh, and the
first year I went to AF, somebody with a pistol in their waistband shot the
toilet at the Carl’s Jr., it was on the news.

Most of us here in SLC wait for facts before we riot.
Being from SLC I can say your mostly fine depending on where the station is.
There is a section in downtown near the Gateway Mall that has several homeless
shelters. Evil things happen there nightly.
But chances are that if you don't talk to strangers on the street you should be
okay.
Thank you,

Hmm... yeah, there's that... but on the bright side, if the police do shoot
you, it won't cause any riots.

Yeah... having been there a couple of times, I really wouldn't worry about
it.

The closest I've ever been to SLC is either in a plane on the way to Vegas
or maybe in Steamboat Springs, CO. However, I'd imagine the worst thing that
could happen to you in SLC is getting preached at by a Mormon... and I'd be
okay with that.

Are you seriously asking if Salt Lake City is safe for an adult male to
walk at night?

One of my transportation options for Animal Farm is to take Amtrak from
Reno. The problem is that it arrives in SLC between 3 and 4 am. It's only a
15 minute walk from the station to the hotel, but I was wondering how advisable
that is at that hour.
