[Highland Park] Grey's Anatomy
by Sherry Goldman 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Do any of you nice neighbors out there have the 3rd season of Grey's Anatomy on tape or DVD that we could borrow.? My husband and I decided to start following the show ... late... and we have rented and watched all of season 1 and should finish season 2 in a day or two. The problem is that season 3 will not be available to rent until September 11 and we were hoping to catch up in the slow season of the summer and be ready for season 4. ABC only shows the last 4 episodes that have just aired, and I want to watch the story in order. I am collecting what they are showing now, but it's going to take a while. I could buy it on itunes, but I am trying to downsize and don't really want to keep all of those episodes and they are $2 a pop. Plus, from my previous experience with iTunes, I haven't been able to get the closed captions, and it really helps us to have them. If you can lend this to us, we'd be very appreciative, and I promise we'll take good care of it and return it promptly. Sherry Goldman

by Katrina Struloeff 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

To view the full email update visit www.unionproject.org/About_Us/News UP item of the week: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED NEXT WEEK FOR EAST END BLITZ One of our tenants and partners, The Open Door, is a part of an amazing partnership this summer called the East End Blitz. Along with six other East End Churches, Hosanna Industries Inc., and East Liberty Development Inc., they are rehabbing eight houses for eight local families (think Extreme Home Makeover!). Houses have already been completed at 624 Collins St., 5807 Hays St., and -- this week -- 520 North Fairmount is under construction. Recently, a new family and home was approved for rehab beginning next Tuesday, June 26th. The project will run from Tuesday through Saturday. If things go well, the family can actually move in on Saturday evening! The Blitz Build needs 40 volunteers for Tuesday, 30 volunteers for Wednesday, and 20 for each of the remaining days. NO experience is necessary! (though it certainly doesn't hurt). Workday begins at 9am. Lunch is provided. We understand this is last minute, but if you, your family, your co-workers, or other group would be interested in volunteering a whole or half day, please contact: BJ Woodworth at bj(a)pghopendoor.org or (412) 215-6398. Thanks for considering serving our neighborhood! For more information about the partnership check out www.hosannaindustries.org.

Recently, a new family and home was approved for rehab beginning next Tuesday, June 26th. The project will run from Tuesday through Saturday.

[Highland Park] Asbestos Abatement Contractors
by Jessica J. Pedersen 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hello, Neighbors - I am looking for recommendations for asbestos abatement contractors because we have two very small pieces of "asbestos looking" insulation on a vent in our basement that we have to either have removed or encapsulated. So far I have received quotes from Key Asbestos and Gray Waste Management. Do you have any comments about these contractors or suggestions for others I should consider? Thank you, Jessica Pedersen
