THE WATERS AT SOUTHPARK - ALLIGATOR IN PONDFrom:Lacey Pate (Assistant Manager)Date:July 1, 2021, 4:40 pmSubject:Alligator in Pond
Good afternoon,
We have been made aware that there is an alligator in the back pond. Someone is on his way to us now to try and remove it. The back pond is connected to the pond in the middle of buildings 4,5,6,7,8 and 9 so please be cautious with small children and babies.
I will update you here when he/she has been safely removed.
Thank you.
I got the above email just before I was to leave work and trudge wearily to my apartment.
Boy, had it been HOT!
But reading that email certainly gave me the chills.
When I got to my door, just feet away from said pond, I saw an older woman walking right next to the water's edge with her dog in one of those vest leaches.
I hurried to her and asked if she got the email. Her words?
She was looking to see if she could see its footprints.
I started backing up to my door and kept talking to her. She looked like she wanted to stay by the pond's edge.
You can't save people from themselves. I felt sorry for the dog.
THIS JUST IN
