“Recent encounter on the MBT – They grabbed me and tried to take my belongings”

Published August 5, 2024 at 2:35PM

“Dear PoPville,

On Monday (7/29) around 9:10 pm, I was biking on the MBT alone and came across a group of teenagers on the path. I wasn’t able to pass so I was biking behind them but the group stopped walking and a few guys slowly walked toward me asking for directions. They grabbed me and tried to take my belongings but another biker came shortly after and scared them away. A huge thank you to the man who was biking on the MBT Monday night and made sure I was ok! And a reminder to everyone else to be cautious and alert!“

Recently our local Compass Coffee has had three times more staffers in the shop, but not a one knew how to make coffee. Not raining on anyone for being new, but what happened to pairing newbies with experienced staff to provide training? (more…)

We are looking for property management, mainly just to collect and pay the monthly bills (less than 4 per month, on average), recommend any building maintenance, be available if need be if there’s an emergency and all 6 owners are not around (very rare).
