Perhaps spurred on by the latest sexual assault (and though the suspect has been caught), OBceans are organizing the next meeting of the OB OB Citizen’s Patrol.
The first meeting of 2013 will be held Tuesday, April 2 at 5 pm. The meeting will take place at the Tower 2 Cafe, in OB.
Tower 2 Cafe is located at 5083 Santa Monica Avenue, OB, CA 92107; and their phone is (619) 223-4059.
Organizers are reaching out to ALL of OB, businesses, organizations, and locals to come in with FRESH ideas of how to curb the crime.
The latest citizens’ patrol was organized last Fall during a spate of sexual assaults on women around OB. Thirty people showed up to its first meeting on October 8th, also held at Tower 2 Cafe. Tim Nolan, the owner of the cafe, has been supportive of the patrol, offering his restaurant and experience in organizing them. Tim recommends that people who sign up for patrols carry a flashlight.

Thank you to the always wonderful OB Rag for calling attention to the fact that Ocean Beach residents care about their fellow man (and women) !
