[Highland Park] Stanton Street Clean Up on Saturday
by Richard Day 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Besides the Explorer's Club of Pittsburgh, the second group organizing and sponsoring the Saturday clean-up on Stanton Street was the Allegheny Cleanways (http://www.pacleanways.org/allegheny/) I'm certain that they would appreciate a note of thanks for organizing the event and, perhaps, a small donation to continue their work.

[Highland Park] Stanton Street Clean Up
by Richard Day 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

The individuals that did the Saturday morning clean up on Stanton Street were the members of the Mountaineering School from the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh. They were supported by a local public clean-up organization (whose name I'm currently blocking on - shame on me) and representatives of the City of Pittsburgh. The porta-john was indeed for their use. Richard Day Wellesley Avenue

City of Pittsburgh sets Trick or Treating Hours: Wednesday, October 31, 2007, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. But don't take off those costumes yet!! Again this year at St. Andrew's, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31, as the official city Trick-or-Treat period comes to an end, the always-popular NEIGHBORHOOD HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANA, with a brief "seasonally appropriate" organ recital, a climb into Ye Olde Darke Tower for a bit of bell-ringing, and, of course, the distribution of a few Halloween treats to complete the evening's harvest. Great fun for all ages! St. Andrew's, Hampton Street at N. Euclid Avenue, Highland Park

Re: [Highland Park] New neighbour, Mr. John.
by Pannny＠aol.com 29 Oct '07

Thank you to everyone who responded. Mr. John moved out today. Saturday morning, after I had penned the email, there was a large group of people gathered in the area and they proceeded to remove all the garbage that has been thrown over the hillside. I suspect it was placed there for their use. More importantly, many thanks to that group of gracious people for spending part of their weekend to remove all the appliances, tires and other junk that has been mindlessly thrown into the surrounding woods and hillside. thanks again, neighbours! In a message dated 10/29/2007 10:17:29 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Pannny(a)aol.com writes: Today, on Stanton Avenue next to the Community Gardens, a Mr. Port O. John moved in. I phoned the telephone number that's on Mr. John's house, but only received a recording to call back on Monday. While it's sitting on city/park property, I don't appreciate looking at it from my front windows (it's doesn't blend in with the fall foliage...) and it surely doesn't seem there's a need for it there. All the homes here have indoor plumbing. Also, given the vandalism of the "johns" in the park and the most recent vandalism of dozens of car windows on this street, the last thing we need is to see our new neighbour "Mr. John" on it's side. Does anyone know who within the city I should contact to find out why in the world Mr. John now resides in our neighbourhood? Thanks, neighbours ;) ____________________________________ See what's new at _AOL.com_ (http://www.aol.com/?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001170) and _Make AOL Your Homepage_ (http://www.aol.com/mksplash.adp?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001169) . -- <http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood> ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

[Highland Park] Fence Posts being ripped out - Hampton & N St Clair - Negative Police Response
by Bonnie B 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Neighbors, I'm having a problem and could use some help. I own the white brick house at Hampton & N St Clair, directly across from Fulton School. I'm currently living overseas with the Army. My white picket fence is being vandalized. Yesterday (Saturday), 3 more pickets were pulled out between 0800 & noon. The police said that my neighbor can't call the vandalism in because she's not the property owner. I do have a tenant and I'm going to email her. If you're walking the neighborhood, please consider taking a camera and capturing criminal activity. I can't do much from here but find it a special crime that the police won't support someone calling in a problem. What if there's serious crime in one of the vacant houses, would the response (or lack) be the same. I'm open for any ideas. Thanks, Bonnie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
