The “group” that hangs out in cherry park later at night has grown to 5 or 6 men and women.  All new faces to me.    Also at the office building at main and Lyman there is a new “group “ of loiterers all new faces.  They are more raucous and leave more trash than usual.  Walking to work it seems like the homeless population is growing.

 Hi Eric,
It’s difficult to see her face. But her backpack is bold enough to remember. I will keep an eye while walking the dogs.

 Hope this email finds you all well. I just wanted to report some suspicious activity noticed around my property at 27 Mattoon Street this week. My surveillance cameras have recorded the woman in photos below approaching and knocking on my front door four separate times in last two days. Not quite sure what the nature of her business is, but wanted to ask if anyone recognizes/interacted with her in any capacity. Additionally, at approximately the same time around 1pm this afternoon, Paul saw two men enter my backyard and appear to be searching for something under the porch deck of the multi family next door. They immediately left when Paul confronted them and were seen sitting on the front stoop of #25. Names given were Woody and Durmond, and they had no business being in my backyard. Just wanted to implore everyone to stay safe and vigilant.
