[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

[Highland Park] I slipped on your sidewalk this morning . . .
by George Spelvin 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I slipped on the packed snow/ice on your sidewalk while walking the dog this morning. It's nothing serious, but my ankle is sore. Unfortunately, it's not the first time this has happened on your sidewalk. You take great care of your home and your yard, so I'm asking you to extend that care to the sidewalk around your house. Did you know that it's a city ordinance to remove snow and ice within 24 hours of a snowfall? (see the code below) Granted, the chances of actually getting a ticket are slim, but there are other ways your bank account could take a hit. Imagine how your insurance company might react if I were injured enought to file a claim for medical treatment. Forget the legalities and cash costs, though. Cleaning the sidewalk should be something you do as a courtesy to the kids going to/from school, your neighbors walking to/from the bus stop, folks walking their dogs, or someone just enjoying a walk in the evening. Am I asking you to clean the snow as it hits the concrete? Of course not! But it has been a couple days since the snow fell and your sidewalk is still covered with it, all of it now packed down and slick. Maybe you're thinking "Did you slip in front of my house?" If you have to ask that question, then the answer is "yes!" So why not shovel the snow today. And maybe toss down some salt or other de-icer. It's the neighborly, safe and legal thing to do. City of Pittsburgh Code #419.03 REMOVAL OF SNOW AND ICE. Every tenant, occupant or owner having the care or charge of any land or building fronting on any street in the city, where there is a sidewalk paved with concrete, brick, stone or other material shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after the fall of any snow or sleet, or the accumulation of ice caused by freezing rainfall, cause the same to be removed from the sidewalk. _________________________________________________________________ Get live scores and news about your team: Add the Live.com Football Page http://www.live.com/?addtemplate=football
