*Longview Pool House / Vagrant Sleeping Space*
Lately when walking my dogs in the pre-dawn I've noticed a vagrant sleeping
in the entry to the pool house. Not having a cellphone I asked a neighbor
of the pool to notify the police and the next morning I saw that the City
had reinstalled bulbs in the entry lights - but the tricky vagrant has
moved his sleeping area into the dimly / unlit portion. This person has
some sort of an electronic device because I've seen the glow from the
screen. I called 911 this morning (6:30) and then spoke with the temporary
Principal of the Longview School asking that they do whatever they can to
discourage this use of the neighboring property.

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. ****

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.****
