Re: [Highland Park] Recommend Auto Mechanics?

I've been using Baum Blvd Automotive for 20 years (though it's been called by different names and re-located over the years). Chuck, the owner, is a great guy. All of their mechanics are good, honest, and reasonable. The phone number: 412-682-1866. They do have a waiting room with magazines and coffee. Claudette In a message dated 5/12/2006 8:04:01 A.M.

I'm partly disabled and don't get around very well, so the "drop off car and walk to bus stop where you stand and wait for bus" scenario doesn't work very well for me :).

Anyone have a recommendation for an auto mechanic and/or garage somewhere reasonably close? I need to have a bit of engine work done. Bonus points if they have a place to sit and wait and/or are next to such a place. I'm partly disabled and don't get around very well, so the "drop off car and walk to bus stop where you stand and wait for bus" scenario doesn't work very well for me :). Thanks!

[Highland Park] Highland Park History
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 11 May '06

11 May '06

The history timeline that was on the old web page is back: <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/history> Instead of one big page it's now broken up by century and year. I only copied the original content over--I didn't add or change anything. There's a lot to be added (and some things to be corrected). If helping out with this project interested you--let me know! In order to help update the history info on the web site you'll first need to create a login account. Visit the following link (also available from the main page on the site) to create an account if you don't already have one: <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/user/register> After this announcement I'll only send mail about this project to the history list. If you're interested in subscribing to that mailing list, visit: <http://www.highlandpark.pgh.pa.us/mailman/listinfo/history> If there's enough interest maybe we'll have a Highland Park History Group meeting this year--I have an idea for a topic, but I'll need help doing it, so let me know if you are interested.
