[Highland Park] re: scooters/pocket bikes

I was fairly certain that those little motorcycles were illegal for use on public streets but I wanted to be sure before I posted. Here's the Post Gazette article about the issues surrounding the scooters/pocket motorcycles: http://www.postgazette.com/pg/04225/360357.stm I might feel foolish calling the police about them, but between the noise and the safety issues, I guess that's what the logical course of action is?

[Highland Park] rescreening a door
by deniserpol＠aol.com 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hi all. I am trying to find someone or a business who can put new screening in the frame of our storm door. I called several places and while they have supplies they don't have anyone who is skilled at rescreening. I tried to do it myself last year with limited (very limited) success and think we need someone who has some experience. I can be reached at deniserpol(a)aol.com. Thanks. Denise

Hello everyone... I didn't have a very good response to my call for help last week. With only 4 days to go, I am asking again. We need 3 people who will work from 7am until 8:30 pm. Besides doing a great thing, you will be compensated for your time with a check for $95. The only requirement is that you are a registered voter in the City of Pittsburgh and you must stay the entire time. Please respond ASAP. Thank you!
