A woman just came to my back door with her hand over her eyes to shield her view from the glare on the glass storm door and appeared to be trying to see inside. It did not look like she saw that I was inside. I came to door and asked if I could help her, and she showed me a laminated flyer and said that she was offering floor cleaning. She appeared to be looking inside my house to see what kinds of floor I had as she made up her spiel about the kinds of floors that they cleaned. I told her I wasn't interested. Then I asked why she came to my back door instead of the front door. She said that she saw my car parked behind the house and thought that would be where I would be. I said, Well, usually people come to the front door. She walked back down my driveway and got into a brown SUV that was stopped on the street (not in the driveway). This was very strange because my house it as the top of a hill in a no-parking zone, and cars do not usually stop right there. The SUV drove off as soon as she got in and went down the road. The woman was wearing a black sweatsuit (zippered black jacket and black pants). She was around average height (probably 5'6" or so), white complexion, spoke with a bit of an Eastern European accent, black hair with gray that was pulled back. It looked like there were at least two other people in the SUV. I just called the police to report this suspicious behavior. Please be on the lookout. Thanks,Ann2213 Rumson _______________________________________________ East-CAC mailing list East-CAC(a)eastraleigh.org http://www.eastraleigh.org/mailman/listinfo/east-cac

Longview Park Community Watch 2013 Update

by Matt Leary

Hey neighbors,,I hope you all had a great holidays and happy new year. I wanted to get the year started off with an update on what we have planned for this year with the LPCW. There will be plenty of activities available for you to participate and get to know your neighbors. I'll send out the 2013 meeting schedule just as soon as I confirm the dates with Enloe. Be Part of the Process - Raleigh Parks Planning in the Longview Park Area Some of us have continued to look at ways to participate in the Raleigh Parks 20-year planning process. The City has set up a website to solicit feedback from the community on ideas for improving the Raleigh parks system. If you haven’t been to the website, you should check it out. I put in two ideas for ways to improve locations in the LP area. Please take a look, add to them, change them or submit your own idea. The site is based on the crowd sourcing idea, so points are awarded to ideas based on the feedback they generate. Links to my ideas are below. You may have to create an account to view everything. http://www.yourparksyourfuture.com/your-favorite-park/add-a-gazebo-landscap… http://www.yourparksyourfuture.com/your-favorite-park/improve-the-grounds-o… Be On the Lookout There is an aggressive dog at 505 N. King Charles Rd. It is a brown and white boxer. I have seen it loose, unattended on the property multiple times, and on one of these occasions it attacked my dog. Thankfully, my dog is small enough to lift into the safety of my arms as I chased the dog back across the street. The dog owner came out and collected the dog before further incident. I have had a conversation with the landlord about the dog, and he assured me he would talk to the tenant. Still, be on the lookout in this area. Important Meetings Traffic calming workshop North King Charles between New Bern Ave. and Milburine Rd. Thursday, February 21 at 7:00 PM Roberts Community Center 1500 East Martin St The meeting will consist of a short presentation explaining the traffic-calming program and introducing the citizens to various traffic-calming treatments. After a question/answer session, residents will be able to see the proposed design and invited to provide comments. Other Activities - Spring Creek Cleanup – March or April? - Grill ‘n Chill – July?
