[Highland Park] lost tabby cat
by victoria cole 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Our big orange tabby didn't come home last night and we are all worried, especially our five-year-old. His name is Charlie and he's very very friendly. We live in the 5600 block of Callowhill, Highland Court, Mellon Terrace area. If you see an all-orange neutered male cat with a white button on the end of his tail, hold on to him and call us at 412-441-9117. (He just came from the Animal Rescue League 6 weeks ago and he has a chip implanted.) Thanks-Victoria Cole

by Curt Shaw 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

I have a Sportsworks bicycle rack for sale that mounts on a 2 or 4" receiver. This is the top of the line from Sportsworks like the kind you see on the front of some buses that carries the bicycle by the tires so not to scratch the paint of the bike. It carries one or two bicycles. It is in new condition. These racks go for over $200 and I am selling this one for $100. Curt gginy2k(a)yahoo.com
