Re: [Highland Park] Lunch at Taj Mahal
by david shumway 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I hate to run down a neighborhood business, but my experience with Taj Mahal has not been good. I cook Indiana food and eat at Indian restaurants often. I was a regular patron of Sitar. But when the ownership changed, the food was simply not well prepared. Has it improved since their first few weeks, as I haven't been back recently? --On Friday, January 14, 2005 9:56 PM +0000 Juanita Everett <creativekinetics(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > There have been a few e-mail exchanges about the good food at Taj Mahal. > Unfortunately, each time one of us Indian food lovers have patronized the > restaurant, there are very few people present.

[Highland Park] missing dog
by christopher tracey 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Hi, I'm sending this for a friend who doesn't have email access at home. Her dog took off today around lunchtime and hasn't been seen since. Her tags have broken off. The dog is a female border collie (mostly black with two big white spots) named Maggie and lives in the 800 block of Sheridan Ave (just up from Stanton). If you have seen her call Mary Beth at 412.661.4925 or 412.512.9639. Thanks in advance. -Chris

[Highland Park] Lunch at Taj Mahal
by Juanita Everett 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

There have been a few e-mail exchanges about the good food at Taj Mahal. Unfortunately, each time one of us Indian food lovers have patronized the restaurant, there are very few people present. Our area needs good quality restaurants. We want Taj Mahal to stay, and in order to do that, they need our support. Would anyone be interested in having a group lunch one Saturday in February? Taj Mahal has a really good buffet. This is a great way to network and meet residents of the area. Bring a friend or relative who doesn't live in HP. Perhaps, we could arrange for the owner to give us a brief history about Indian food. If your interested, please e-mail or cal mel 412-441-3287. Juanita Everett

[Highland Park] Martin Luther King, Jr. program highlights 2 Highland Parkers

PIIN IMMIGRATION POLICY SUMMIT SCHEDULED FOR M.L.K. HOLIDAY The Pittsburgh Interfaith Impact Network (PIIN) will hold a Regional Summit on Immigration Law in the Duquesne Room of the Duquesne University Union 8:30 to noon Monday, January 17, the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [The Highland Park connection: The program will feature Highland Park's own Maritza Mosquera's "Immigrant Body: in translation project" and will highlight Education Innovation's Inc. founder and CEO Salvador Wilcox's immigration from El Salvador at age 9 from El Salvador in 1982.] We believe it is appropriate to observe the birthday of our nations most honored civil rights leader by focusing attention on the civil rights of immigrants, refugees, and international students in these trying times, said Wallace Watson president-elect of PIIN. The meeting will feature discussion of problems faced by members of those groups in the Pittsburgh region, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11; presentations on federal legislation addressing immigration policy in the just-ended session of Congress; and consideration of future policy recommendations. The states two U.S. Senators and members of the House of Representatives from the region have been invited to the event. Speakers will include immigrants, refugees, and international students as well as individuals providing services to those groups, including immigration attorneys. The event is open to the public. A $5 donation will be requested. Among the planners for the event are representatives from many PIIN congregations; the Duquesne University Office of International Programs; the Pittsburgh Public Schools Office of Multi-cultural Education; the Jewish Family and Childrens Service; the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh; the Carlow University Interfaith Center; Stand for Children: ESL teachers in several institutions; the Service Employers International Union and the Carpenters Union; the Latin American Cultural Union; the Latino Catholic Community; the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service; and the American Friends Service Committee. PIIN is an interracial, urban-suburban association of 32 congregations and other faith-based organizations representing many religious traditions (including Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian, and Quaker) and working for systemic social, economic, and political changes in the interest of equity and justice. PIINs work on immigration policy is being supported by its national affiliate, the Gamalial Foundation of Chicago. Gamaliels coast-to-coast faith-based campaign, Civil Rights for Immigrants, calls for granting work permits and a path to citizenship for immigrants, both documented and undocumented, who are already working in the U.S.; expanded family and worker visas; integration of immigrants fully into U.S. society; and more effective and consistent enforcement of border controls. For reservations and further information: Scott Pappert: 412-901-6677, epidwsp(a)yahoo.com, or Ann Sitron, 412-244-0951, peter.adams(a)att.net Note: Reduced-price parking permits ($6.60) in the campus garage must be confirmed before January 12.

[Highland Park] Taj Mahal
by Jessica King 12 Jan '05

Just wanted to mention that I had lunch today at Taj Mahal (formerly Sitar) on Bryant Street and the buffet was EXCELLENT! We were the only ones there while we ate, so I thought it would be worth encouraging neighbors to try it out if you haven't yet! Jessica Jessica King, Executive Director Union Project 801 N.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR TREE TO THE UNION PROJECT. The mulching project is done. The Christmas tree sale was a huge success. We sold over 500 trees and 100 wreaths and acquired the help of over 50 new volunteers. Thanks to everyone for making the market a great success. January Stained Glass Classes Continue to fill Stained glass classes for January are starting to fill up. Only 1 space remains in session 5a and 6 spaces in session 5b.

[Highland Park] Cleaning person; dog sitter
by Avram1＠aol.com 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

We are looking for a person to do housecleaning every 3 weeks. Also, someone who could house/dog sit from time to time--3 dogs, a Yorkie, Cairn and mutt. Letting them out in the yard would be fine for a weekend--no walking required. Any recommendations? Thanks very much. Avram Machtiger, 412-361-7765.
