Walk with a buddy!

Soo obviously walking alone downtown after dark, not the ideal… and should be avoided if possible
As a girl working downtown.. that’s not always an option.
If I’m walking around early enough, I know my routes, and businesses are still open if I need help.
The past few days have been wack tho.
More creepy, scary men congregating around Simon’s(like trespassed and puttering around the fence). This is the second night an employee has had to walk me out of the parking lot. (They’re angels, and will do whatever to make sure I feel safe!).

I’ve always been cautious, but this week has felt far less safe than normal… anyone else feel similarly?/ know what may be causing that?
