More on Denver's niceness

Minnesota Nice will have its day. But I just saw a display of Denver hospitality that'll be pretty hard to top.

A delegate emerged from the Pepsi Center with a packet of American Spirit tobacco -- but no rolling papers. Around here, it's tough to find Zig Zags at convenience stores. Without volunteers around, the delegate turned to Denver police.

You've earned that big wiggle, boys. More Denver street photos in the slideshow.

"Know where I can get rolling papers?" she asked. One cop said he thought he knew of a place. He consulted with a group of his compatriots, all clad in full riot gear. There were a number of suggestions for the most effective route.

Then, the walkie talkies got involved. A quick impromptu poll of the non-political variety ensued, and the full complement of police intellectual resources were brought to bear.

Before long, the delegate was happily polluting her lungs and the police had satisfied one more visitor that Denver goes that extra mile. High.
