[Highland Park] Hi

Hello to everyone out there. I was a resident of Highland Park for 11 yrs and I loved it. Due to circumstances I had to move from the area. I am a 46 yr old, newly single mom of two and I attend school 4 evenings a week. My problem, I need work to supplement my support payments. I am available weekdays from 10 am to 3 pm. If anyone knows of any kind of work, babysitting, housecleaning, computer work, paperwork, anything would be helpful. I can be reached at this email address and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Pam Charmley

[Highland Park] Highland Park Walk Tonight at 6:30pm!
by Jessica J. Pedersen 03 Aug '05

Hello, Neighbors - How much do you know about our neighborhood park? Have you seen the Babbling Brook? Do you know the history of the Negley Monument? Did you know that Lake Carnegie was once double its current size?...and where did it go? The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy's free monthly walk in Highland Park is taking place this evening from 6:30 - 8:00pm. Rudy Maceyko and I lead this walk the first Wednesday of every month. The 2 mile route is easy and along the way we will provide a brief history of the park, identify some of the plant species that are growing along the paths and highlight special areas of the park, such as the Babbling Brook, Lake Carnegie, the Negley Monument and of course the beautiful fountain and surrounding gardens. If you plan to attend, please wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. We hope to see you at 6:30pm at the fountain! Jessica Pedersen

[Highland Park] Request for good concrete contractors
by Eric Kaun 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

We're looking for a reliable, quality cement and concrete contractor to do some work on our porches (new steps and railings, skim coats to fix cracks) as soon as we can get them. The numbers for both Eric Gerber and Lou Scampone (in the Highland Park tradesman list) are out of service. DiBucci does great work but is extremely busy and difficult to book (at least I've found so). Any recommendations? Thanks in advance. - Eric

[Highland Park] Attempted Bike Theft
by Chris 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Hi Neighbors! Just wanted to pass along that somebody tried to pop my bike lock late last week or weekend. Luckily the lock held long enough for him (or her) to get bored or impatient. This would have been my second bike stolen this year! I had an old beater-bike that I didn't bother to lock, thinking it not worth stealing. I've been keeping my bike on the porch this summer, with a pretty good lock, it seems. Anyway, we'll be moving all our bikes inside :-( Chris Setlock, the Framesmith Visit our website: <http://www.framesmith.com/sqhill> http://www.framesmith.com/sqhill
