Donald, you are not directly contacting the DIA with your queries, but rather asking the general public on an open platform (Google Maps) for input. Typically, questions here are of the more practical variety, such as: Does this place accept credit cards? Is there a vending machine? Are all entrances wheelchair accessible? Definitely do not post your email address. Follow the link provided to the DIA's actual website, or call them during business hours.
