[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

FW: [Highland Park] Neighbors, Police and Pizza

Hello Highland Park Community, I am so very proud that the residents of Highland Park were alert and took action. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is doing a media release recognizing their efforts and submitting the names of the residents who took action for a departmental award! Thanks again for your commitment to the Highland Park community and public safety. Cmdr. RaShall M. Brackney, Commander Zone Five Station Penn Circle West and Ansley Pittsburgh, Pa. 15206 (412) 665-3605 -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces(a)highlandparkpa.com [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandparkpa.com] On Behalf Of Jim Johnson Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 8:41 AM To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Subject: [Highland Park] Neighbors, Police and Pizza On the 6400 block of Jackson Street last night (Monday), two neighbors noticed an unfamiliar black man (late teens, early 20s) in front of a vacationing neighbors house. After calling police, they asked him what he was doing. He mumbled that he was waiting for someone. At that moment two other men came from behind the house and squared off with the neighbors saying, "What's up?" Then they walked down the street and were stopped by the police. One of the men had a knife, and police were suspicious that they may have thrown any other weapons away. As we were all sharing information in front of the house, a Pizza Perfecta driver showed up and began walking to the front door. Police stopped him and explained the situation. He had been set up. The shaken driver thanked the crowd of neighbors and gave them the pizza. He said that his wife prays for his safety every time he walks out the door to deliver pizza. Police confirmed that the men had made the phone call and took them in. Thanks to watchful neighbors and quick action by police and robbery, or perhaps worse, was averted. PS-Another neighbor later noticed a smashed out window in the back of their car in the same area. ________________________________ PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best web mail-award-winning Windows Live Hotmail.

[Highland Park] cars speeding in the park
by Silvestre, Anthony 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Neighbors, Is it my imagination or are more cars speeding through the park? This past Sunday I saw a motorcycle doing 40+ and ditto two cars later on. With all the walkers, kids, and bikes, that is a problem. Tony Silvestre
