“Dear PoPville,
I was walking on 3rd Street NE between L and M Street at 7:55 a.m. on Tuesday when I saw a heavyset man with a hoodie and sweatpants walking toward me exposing himself. I filed a police report, and I also wanted to give everyone else a heads up. I know there have been other reports of a flasher in NoMa. I wonder if this is the same guy.”
