Correction: 6/28/22 Re southwest corner of Newport Beach central library parking lot


Correction
6/28/22 Re southwest corner of
 Newport Beach central library parking lot:

 I go to the library regularly, & periodically I see people walking to the southwest corner of the lot behind the Gelsons . Not sure what is back there.  a shortcut ? cigarette break? Or a place to smoke pot ? Or something more serious ? 

Then I was walking to my car today & a guy from that corner gave me a "100-yard stare" as i walked that direction, only to stop short when i got to my car. He seemed highly concerned that i might approach him like he thought i was somebody with authority. 

Whatever's happening back there it's starting to get creepy & they're starting to get paranoid. Maybe its time for a few cops to take a walk thru there  periodically & see if it's something that needs to be addressed. I DON'T want to play cop. 

I prefer to remain anonymous.

Thanks. 👍
