RE: [Highland Park] homeowners insurance recommendations
by Sweeney, Dan 07 Apr '05

Eliza, I ran into this very problem last year. The insurance would have been almost as much as the principal and interest! I ended up with Tod Aronson at E.R. Munro, (412) 281-0673. I don't remember the details, but he found a good program that insured us for more than the purchase price, but a lot less than their calculated replacement cost our house. Good luck. dps -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandpark.pgh.pa.us]On Behalf Of Eliza Littleton Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 9:48 PM To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Subject: [Highland Park] homeowners insurance recommendations Dear Highland Park, Could you recommend a company that offers homeowners' insurance?

[Highland Park] Street Cleaning Starts Today
by Bob Staresinic 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Spring is here, and with it the City starts street cleaning for another season. It starts today, and runs thru the end of November. Go out and check the signs on your street, and make sure they did not change the days on you. Mark the days on your calendar, so you will always know where to park your car. And tell your neighbors. Just a reminder from someone who often forgets to move his vehicle. Bob
