by Olga Watkins 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

I was walking my dog earlier this afternoon (Saturday) on the 6600 block of Jackson Street. I found a Chanel leather wallet and an Express canvas change purse with a key chain clip. Both the wallet and the change purse were without any cards, IDs, money, etc. If these items belong to you, please contact me via this email address and I will get them to you.

RE: [Highland Park] vandalism on Wayne Road & Jackson St. and now north highland

i live on n. highland. last night around 8:30 pm i heard a crash/thud sound out front. i turned on the porch light. when i got outside, my flower urn, which was sort of large, was tipped over and broken. i called police. they came out and made a report. there seems to be 3 kids, black, about 14 or 15 years old. two boys and one girl. there is a very strong possibility it was them. the officer said that even though this isnt a major incident, each small incident can eventually snowball into larger, more serious incidents, and the police should be notified of ANY incidents so they can keep track. ---------------------------------------- > To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com > From: jai(a)vision-and-values.com > Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2008 20:53:44 -0400 > Subject: [Highland Park] vandalism on Wayne Road & Jackson St. > > We went out for a walk around 8 p.m. this evening (Thursday).

[Highland Park] B&B recommendations?
by Stacey Becker 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

I have relatives coming to town around Christmastime who are tired of the hotels they usually stay at, and are wondering what local B&Bs might be a nice change of pace. They specifically asked if I knew anything about the Inn at Negley, so any recommendations about that would be lovely. But other suggestions would be very welcome too. Any thoughts? They usually stay at a hotel downtown, so a bit of a drive is no problem. Stacey

[Highland Park] Eagle Scout project
by Sue Mietzner 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hello Neighbors! My son has a project to do that is required for him to earn the Eagle rank in Boy Scouts. He is building a small deck for the Shepherd's Heart Fellowship in Uptown. The deck is actually to be built behind their staff and veteran housing off of Millvale in Oakland. This is a big request, but if any of you have a post hole digger that he can use the weekend of October 10, it would be much appreciated. (And taken care of) Also, does anyone know where to rent a cement mixer and a gas-powered generator at very reasonable rates? Thank you from all of us: me, my son, and Shepherd's Heart!

[Highland Park] Odd solicitation?
by Laurel Roberts 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

A man came to my door Thursday evening, waved a can of Air Wick air freshener at me and said something about "working in the neighborhood" and did I use this kind of stuff? My impression was that he was trying to sell me something but he had no sample bag or papers. When I told him no, and that I was busy, he seemed to want to linger. Luckily, my rather large dogs were both agitated so I told him I had to go. He was white, bald(ing), 30's-40's wearing khakis and perhaps a dress shirt. Anyone have a similar experience?
