[Highland Park] Highland Park web site down
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 30 May '07

30 May '07

There was a major problem with the database installation on the computer that hosts the Highland Park web site. As a result, the site is offline (you get an error). If it's down past this evening I'll point it to the old site so that at least something is there. Rudy

[Highland Park] Looking for peonies!
by Tricia Kolarik 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi Everyone, My son's preschool always decorates a small wooden arch for "graduation" with mountain laurel and white peonies. However our usual sources don't have any in good condition this year. Does anyone in the neighborhood have some blooming that they would be willing to part with for a cute cause? The graduation is Thursday so I could come by to trim some Wednesday night or early Thursday... Thank you! Trish Kolarik Browning Road

[Highland Park] Saturday Night at the Movies, in Highland Park
by Bruce Robison 27 May '07

27 May '07

Mark Calendars Now! Saturday evening, June 2, 2007 7 p.m. The St. Andrew's "Focus on Jesus" series ventures once more into the cinematic universe this Saturday, June 2. Based on the famous play by Jean Anouilh, Peter Glenville's 1964 film *Becket* features Richard Burton, Peter Otoole, and an exceptional cast, in a production that earned 12 Academy Award nominations. The story: the classic struggle between Church and Monarchy. The lifelong friendship of Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, is tested and ends in tragedy. A brief discussion on the connections between personal faith and political life will follow the film on Saturday evening and then be continued during the 10 a.m. "Coffee and Conversation" gathering on Sunday morning, June 3. All are welcome. We are encouraged to bring refreshments to share. St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is located at 5801 Hampton Street, between North Highland and North Negley Avenues, one block south of Bryant Street and four blocks south of the park, in the East End Pittsburgh neighborhood of Highland Park. For more information: 412 661-1245.

A small/medium-sized dog was found around Jackson Street and Highland Avenue. He/she was wandering for a bit - this may not be close to where the dog lives. Please call Vonny at (412) 969-1533 if this might be your missing dog. Thanks, June Edwards Jackson Street ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

[Highland Park] Walks in the Woods - Summer 2007
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 26 May '07

26 May '07

Let's take a walk in the park! Once again the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is sponsoring walks in the four major Pittsburgh Parks. Each walk is led by volunteer docents who can tell you about what's going on in the park, park history, and can talk about the many different types of plants you'll see in the parks. The walks in Highland Park are scheduled for June 6 and August 1. We meet at the restored fountain and gardens at the North Highland Avenue entrance to the park at Bunkerhill Street. Please arrive promptly so we can begin the walk at 6:30 as scheduled. The walks are open to everyone but please keep in mind that paths in the woods can be uneven and/or muddy. The exact path we take depends on who shows up for the walk. I don't suggest bringing a stroller for these walks but you might be able to bring your child in something like a Baby Bjorn. If leading walks like this interests you, please let me know because docent opportunities are available. The schedule for the other parks is as follows: Frick: June 13, July 11, & August 8; Riverview: June 20, July 18, August 18; and Schenley: June 27, July 25, & August 22. We are planning special Sunday Walks in the Woods in September with a special focus on park and area history. For more information, call Amy Gelzheiser, Special Events Coordinator, at 412-682-7275 x209. Rudy
