I'm going to be moving soon and am looking to sell/get rid of a number of my things, including: a full-size mattress and boxspring used for less than a year, a full-size Pennsylvania House four-post bedframe, a small humble-looking but fully functional coffee table, a number of cans of unopened paint, and a 1977 Schwinn men's 5-speed bike. The paint and coffeetable are free, and any reasonable offers for the others will be considered. You are more than welcome to stop by and check out any of the above-listed items if you'd like; I live at Hampton and King, and my number is 717.343.3846. Shalom. Melissa Minnich

[Highland Park] Thanks for responses re dog attack
by Mark Stein 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

Just wanted to thank everyone for all of their responses regarding the dog attack. We have gone out and purchased a pair of pepper spray canisters and taken all or your advice to heart. One thing I inadvertantly left out of my original email is that our own two dogs are both pit bulls (from the animal rescue league). We love them, find them to be smart, loyal, very sensitive and loving dogs who get along very well with children. Unfortunately they are also targetted for dog fighting - just take a look at the percent of pit bulls/staffordshires filling up every dog shelter in the area. But that's a whole other issue. In any case, our smaller dog who was attacked wound up with a very small bite mark and was being carried down the street mostly just because she was scared and shaking. Everything turned out ok. Thanks again. Mark Stein

[Highland Park] Looking for Queen size mattress
by Bob Staresinic 25 Feb '07

Hi neighbors, My sister is looking for a queen size mattress and box spring to fill in the frame she already has. She is interested in something that is "sleepable" but is not looking to spend very much money. If you have a decent mattress and box spring that you want to get rid of for next to nothing, please let me know. Thanks Bob Staresinic 412-441-8972
