“Dear PoPville,
I thought I would share a pretty brazen and disturbing incident that happened to me at my house this weekend. If for nothing else – just to make sure people are being aware and safe.
Yesterday morning (Saturday), I was in my backyard sanding my deck. I have one of those roll up garage doors, which was shut, and a 6ft tall fence on both side of my yard, which backs up at an alley. So its not easy to get in there. Its 11am and I was cleaning up the sandpaper getting ready to stain the deck when, even though I had headphones in, I heard the garage door shake. I turned around and there was a man standing in my backyard. He looked pretty messed up…didnt seem with it, and was staring at me blankly. I stood up, and told him to get the hell out of my yard. He didnt move, and then started coming towards me. I went into my house, and locked the door. It was a sliding glass door, so I can still see what is happening. I called 911, as he walked towards the door and started to attempt to break into my house. He was shaking the handle – shouldering the door. All right in front of my face. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in on Westminster Street in Shaw, which has a children’s park on the street and many families in the area that come to play there. I was leaving my house around 6:45PM [Monday] and was walking west on Westminster and a tall (probably 5’11” or 6’0″), lanky, african-american, male approached me. We were about 15 feet apart when he seemed to adjust his jeans, but I then realized that he was exposing himself (more…)
