[Highland Park] Cleaning person(s)

I work at home most days of the week, so I prefer a team sweeping through my place in a few hours rather than one person there all afternoon. I've used this service for years and have been very satisfied with them: Tim Schwarz runs the business called "Cleaning Fairies" 412-243-8191.

[Highland Park] Game Night and Congratulations
by Salvador Wilcox 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

A reminder to fellow Highland Park gamers, our game night is still on for 4 February 2006. Now we can think of it as a pre-Super Bowl Party. The trend is that people will be leaving their children at home, though that doesn't need to be the case. Any age is welcome. We'll provide the drinks if guests are willing to bring snacks to share. Right now, we are anticipating about 15 guests. On another note, Highland Parkers seem to be getting into positions of power. The community should be proud of its representation in city and state government. Congrats to the following: Mayor's Officer: Bobbi Jo "B.J." Leber . Chief of Staff . Highland Park . Age 51 . Past jobs: Senior vice president and station manager of WQED Multimedia, director of business development and marketing for the Port Authority Richard A. Skrinjar . Director of Communications .

[Highland Park] Lost Cat - Came Home
by James H. Joseph 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

The little hussy appeared at the front door 18 hours after she slipped out, brazenly howling her protest that the door was closed and she had to stay out all night, but I think she had a big reality check as she won't leave your side for a second now. ---------- James H. Joseph, Esq. Joseph Law Offices, P.C. 6030 Bunkerhill Street Pittsburgh, PA 15206-1156 Vox 412.661.4000 Fax 412.661.4023

[Highland Park] Lost Cat
by James H. Joseph 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Our cat slipped out the door by accident last night around midnight and has not returned. She is about 11 months old, silver-gray in color, no collar (unfortunately) and may or may not respond to her name, Bailey. Please call 412.661.8896 of you have seen this cat. We live in the 6000 block of Bunkerhill, so she's likely to be in or near the park area or streets nearby.
