“Dear PoPville,

It’s been awhile since we had an update on the NoMa flasher. Well, he’s back, this time on L Street NE. Same description of the guy as previous posts. Last Monday he was on L Street NE near Abbey Place NE around 8:20am, and he had his dick out and was masturbating openly in public until I yelled at him to stop.
