I encountered my first flasher yesterday morning in Wyman Park/the Dell. It was
around 8:00 in the morning. A black man around 30 flashed—actually stood
in the midst of tress and brush—with his pants off. At first, I thought I
had imagined the incident—surely, no one would be flashing in the Dell!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
