[Highland Park] Croatian speakers?
by Michelle Belan 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

I'm traveling to Croatia later this year to be in my cousin's wedding, and wondered if there might be any native or fluent Serbo- Croatian speakers on list who would be willing to help me brush up before I go. Thanks. Michelle Belan michelle(a)belancreative.com

[Highland Park] Lost Dog
by Mark Stein 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

Our small-medium-sized (25lb?) white and black (actually white and dark brown that looks black) female dog named "Mocha" was either taken from our yard this afternoon or decided to suddenly run away. She's a 4 years old Pitt Bull mutt, extremely friendly, does not have her collar on but has a walking harness and has one of those id-implants, so should she be found and taken to a shelter she can be identified. If anyone has seen her please let us know. She is very loved and we miss her sorely.

[Highland Park] Thank You: Groundhog Advice
by Michelle Wahila 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

Hello Neighbors, Thank you to all who gave advice/suggestions for groundhog control! You were a wealth of information and good ideas. FYI I have learned: 1. You are not allowed to relocate groundhogs within the city of Pittsburgh 2. If you trap a groundhog the city will come to get it (They euthanize the animals) 3. Most "home remedies" like putting epsom salt and hot pepper flakes on your garden don't really deter the little guys Many thanks! Michelle

[Highland Park] Leather credit card holder found adjacent to the park
by Joe Mertz 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

A few days ago I found a small leather credit card holder along Bunker Hill Road adjacent to Highland Park. All that was left in it was some stamps and a small scrap of loose leaf paper with an email address (attempts to email to the address has failed). I suspect that it was stolen and abandoned there. If it is yours, email me, and for verification include whose name is on the scrap of paper (my bet is it is probably not your address, but someone who recently gave you his or her address). --Joe
