[Highland Park] Cleaning person(s)
by ozzieink＠comcast.net 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

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] Anthony Coccia has died
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Anthony Coccia of "Anthony's Original Italian Ice" died a few months ago, so sadly this will be the first summer in a long time during which we won't see him near the park entrance with his Italian ice cart. The Post-Gazette has a nice write-up about him: <http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06124/687294-155.stm> I've finally started the image gallery on the Highland Park web site by adding some photos I've taken of him (he was quite camera shy so he would not look directly into the camera :) <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/image/tid/27> Rudy

[Highland Park] Local Computer Support and Repairs
by Steve Karl 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Greetings, I just wanted to give everyone a "heads up" that you have a local community member that specializes in Computer ( PC ) Support and repairs and also has a "quick answer" help desk that is a local number, ( I'm on Winterton St. ... not in Asia ! ) for existing clients. My name is Steve Karl and I run and maintain the Pittsburgh PC Help Desk which can be found at: http://www.sightsea.com/pghpchd/ My "pet peeve" ::: New Computers that run very poorly because that "name brand company" put all that junk-ware in the machine. I've gotten really good at cleaning them up and making them perform well. Free Anti-Virus software that out performs the "2 big sellers" and is very "light weight" and easy on your PC. Initial phone consult is no charge, and most "quick calls" from existing clients are also no charge. Hardware repair / replacement also. So, give me a ring if you need some help, a recommendation on what to buy and where to get it, or just want more general info. Thanks, Steve Karl 412-441-4349

Did anyone tape Tuesday night's Boston Legal episode that I could borrow? I accidentally set for it wrong and didn't get it and it was the conclusion of a two-parter. Thanks, Sherry
