Two years ago I was jogging in the Rose Garden in the morning at 8am and was stalked by a man. I was pretty scared and came home as soon as it was possible by taking roads that I thought were safer. The same day later I happened to run into a cop in my neighborhood who was there checking out the real estate in his cop car. I told him the incidence. He said to me - I was stalked because I was cute!

I have never jogged in the Rose Garden or the Washington Park since then because I think it is unsafe for women and I dont think that the police in Portland care about women's safety.
