[Highland Park] Mac iBook G-4 12"laptop for sale
by Stephen G. Scalese 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi Neighbors... It took me a long time to switch, but I'd never go back to PC again. This is a great laptop in excellent condition that just works perfectly--all the time. I've used it as my only computer, and have written two books with it. It'll do whatever you want it to do, unless your a major graphics person or gamer. The processor is 1.07 GHz PowerPC G4, and memory is 256MB Built-in and expandable to 1.25GB for $100,00. (I've never needed more.) Battery is great and provides 2.5 hours of power. Built in WiFi and Bluetooth. The size is very convenient; you could put it in an interoffice envelop! :) Would make a great notebook for a student. I'm ready to upgrade. $450.00 or best offer. Blessings, Steve "Your vision will become clear Only when you look into your heart..."(Carl Jung) www.whisperinyourheart.com

[Highland Park] Thank you for book donations to Autism Center

Thank you to the folks who have been leaving boxes and bags of books in my vestibule. One individual left a large Amazon.com box but I cannot find a note saying who it was. If that person would like a tax receipt, please email me directly at audreyrasmusson(a)gmail.com. Another individual asked whether games and puzzles would make good donations. They certainly would, along with durable toys for younger kids. Best, Audrey Rasmusson

[Highland Park] Google Time!
by Dean Steiner 27 Jan '08

I have recently come across what seems to be a recent Google update called "StreeView". Under Google Maps, you can enter your address and see if your street was photographed. Just for kicks, check it out and post back your estimation on when the "Google Van/Car" rolled by? So far I have gathered that it's the year 2007 and is in the summer time. Peace, Dean.

[Highland Park] we need a little help
by Olga Watkins 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

My fiancee Mark and I and our business partners have been looking for the right restaurant space in this part of town for just about one year now. Mark and I are both chefs and restaurant industry veterans with many years of experience. We manage an Irish Pub in the Mexican War Streets area of the north side. It's a cozy, welcoming, casual, fun but low key place where the residents of the War Streets gather for dinner, drinks and conversation with family, friends, neighbors and colleagues six nights of the week. When we moved to Jackson St. just over a year ago and were familiarizing ourselves with all the amenities of our new neighborhood, we kept asking, "Where's the pub?". In a place like Highland Park, we were so surprised that we couldn't get a drink and a casual bite to eat anywhere that we would also feel comfortable relaxing with our daughter. Since then, we have been looking for a restaurant or retail space where we can open a casual, family friendly pub for our neighbors; something similar in concept to the Monterey Pub, probably not Irish themed but with all those great Irish draughts and some contemporary and healthful comfort foods. We have met with the Highland Park Development Corporation, but have seen nothing in their plans that suits our needs. We've toured what seems like 100 properties in the area, made formal offers on several properties, extended our search to Shadyside, Friendship, Squirrel Hill, Garfield, Bloomfield, East Liberty and Lawrenceville, met with folks from some of the neighboring development groups and have not yet found a home for our Highland Park Pub. So now we've decided to put out feelers to the whole neighborhood. We're looking for leads to retail and/or restaurant space for sale and/or lease. We want about 2000 sq. feet but can live with 1800 and can make use of much more if it's available. We are prepared to do extensive build out so as long as it's commercially zoned space at a fair market price, we're interested. Any information will be greatly appreciated and if you actually lead us to the space that eventually becomes the pub, there could be a little finder's fee in it for you. (And a lot of good food and drinks.) If you want a better idea of what we're "going for" in terms of concept, visit the pub's website at www.montereypub.com Thanks for your time and consideration!
