| Urgent Alert! Guy trying to come into our house this AM Originally posted 1.03.2021 on Nextdoor Cross Streets: 36th & Mountain View This morning a guy with a hooded sweater and mask, walked right up to our front door and tried to walk into our house – no knock or doorbell ring. My husband went to the front door and he said he thought it was 110th street which was ridiculous. And then he hurried on his way. Our dogs were going crazy. Watch out everyone.
