[Highland Park] A wish for seedlings...
by Shelly Danko+Day 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hello friends! As you all know, I spent the past two months working on Bill Peduto's campaign for Mayor. That didn't leave me any time to nurture seedlings. I find myself with 300 square foot garden in Stanton Heights (shared gardens by the cemetary) and nothing to put in it. So, I turn to you...my gardening friends! Do you have a seedling or two to spare? Maybe you don't have room for all your little darlings? Please let me know via email or you can call me at home at 412.661.4560 or just drop them off at 922 Mellon Street. Thanks! Sincerely, Shelly Danko+Day __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new Resources site http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

[Highland Park] Housing Needed
by Bob Staresinic 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hello All I have a neighbor on the 900 block of Mellon who recently had a fire in their home. They just found out that they will not be able to move in for 4-6 months while the damage is repaired. Thankfully, no one was injured and all they lost was their stuff. So now they are looking for a place to live while their home is repaired. This is a family with 5 kids, ranging in age from about 16 to about 1 year. If you know of any temporary housing that is available close by, please let me know. I will pass on the information. They want to stay close so that the kids can get to school. Thanks Bob

[Highland Park] Weekly Walks in the Woods
by Rudolph T Maceyko 31 May '05

31 May '05

Please join me and fellow Highland Park neighbor Jessica Pedersen for our second monthly walk through the park this Wednesday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. This free walk is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. Along the walk we'll identify plants (both good and bad ones) and talk about what's going on in the park. We'll meet near the fountain at 6:30 pm--please be a couple of minutes early if possible. Dress appropriately for a walk in the "woods"--there will be mud, thorns, uneven paths, and possibly poison ivy. The walks in Highland Park will occur on the first Wednesday of each month until October. There are walks scheduled for the other three Pittsburgh parks on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of the month too:- 2nd Wednesday - Frick Park Meet at Frick Environmental Center on Beechwood Blvd 3rd Wednesday - Riverview Park I don't know exactly where to meet for this, but if you want/need to know, ask me and I'll find out for you... 4th Wednesday - Schenley Park Meet at the Schenley Park Visitor Center Rudy

[Highland Park] Any dumpsters available?
by Ryan Sauder 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi everyone. We are finishing a basement renovation at our house this weekend, and I'm going to have some waste construction materials to dispose of. I live on Mellon Street, and I've noticed several large dumpsters in front of homes in our vicinity (particularly on Portland Street). Instead of paying someone to haul the construction debris to the dump, I'm wondering if I might convince someone to let me pay to dispose of it in their dumpster. If anyone is willing to discuss this possibility with me, please drop me an e-mail. Best regards, Ryan Sauder (rsauder(a)pitt.edu or rsauder(a)peoplepc.com) ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

[Highland Park] Bob O'Connor sign at 805 North Highland Ave.
by MAUREEN DOLAN 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi, We would like to ask your help in getting a Bob O'Connor campaign sign removed from 805 North Highland Ave. This sign is an eyesore and entirely too large for a residential area. Besides, the race is over and he won. The grass in this person's yard is now a foot tall and will not be mowed until the sign comes down. Please, email Mr. O'Connor at contact(a)boboconnorformayor.com<mailto:contact@boboconnorformayor.com>, and request that he have someone from his campaign remove this sign. If anyone has any other suggestions on how to handle this situation (we already called the Mayor's office) please let us know. Have a good Memorial Day Weekend! Maureen and Dave Dolan N. Highland Ave.

[Highland Park] Thanks to all and chuppah available
by Sherry Goldman 21 May '05

21 May '05

Thank you to the Highland Park and Friendship community for the outpouring of help and support you all extended regarding our chuppah. I tried to thank each and every one of you, but if I missed anyone, please accept my thanks now. Special thanks to all three Barbaras who showed us how to make the canopy and the frame and let me try out their poles. The chuppah is now finished and we will be using it next Friday May 27. I would like to extend an invitation for anyone who would like to borrow it after the wedding, free of charge. I'd hate for all of that work to have it used only once and just sit in the closet gathering dust. It is a free-standing chuppah which requires no one to have to hold it.
