Hi again. We found "Maggie's" owner and she is back home. Thanks to all who called us with tips and suggestions. This listserve is a great resource. Best, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Sauder <rsauder(a)peoplepc.com> Sent: Mar 15, 2005 5:40 PM To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Subject: [Highland Park] Bassett hound found in HP Hi all. My wife found a Bassett hound roaming the alley behind our house (1210 Mellon St). After it nearly got hit in the road, she let it into our yard and called animal control. The dog, which is very friendly, is wearing a multi-colored bandana. We need to leave tonight for an appointment, but I thought I'd send an e-mail to see if anyone's missing their dog. You can reach us at 412-661-0716. -Ryan ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com -- <http://www.highlandpark.pgh.pa.us/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood> ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

Following the confusion, and now doubting myself, I did a quick search and found this: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05071/470114.stm A small, and informative article, giving even parking suggestions. This event is indeed taking place at the West Penn on Liberty, Friendship, and Millvale, in Bloomfield/Friendship.

Through the Persephone Project, Stephanie has been promoting gardening as contemporary art and gardeners as artists. Her Magic Penny Gardens are made with the perennial plants shared by community members and honor the stories that gardeners associate with the special plants that they share. Registered project participants will work with Stephanie to create a Magic Penny Garden for the Union Project. They will also explore her concept of gardens-as-art and share their own creative experiences in their gardens. Participants will also help to plan the community events associated with the garden and have an opportunity to stay involved for the on-going maintenance of the garden.

This takes place at the Wintergarden, and Conference Center, at The Western Pennsylvania Hospital, from 11am to 9pm, Monday March 21st.

[Highland Park] Buying carpet
by Eliza Littleton 13 Mar '05

Hello Highland Park, I would appreciate any recommendations for where to buy carpet (and have it installed for me). I am looking for nicer carpet for a family room, not the basement-quality stuff. Many thanks, -Beth
