[Highland Park] Carpooling to downtown?
by amers＠att.net 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

If the Port Authority strike comes to pass, I will be in need of finding a carpool from Highland Park to downtown for work. Driving isn't very feasible and I would much rather contribute to someone else's gas and parking costs than have to drive and find a parking spot myself. And the more we can all carpool the less horrible the parking situation downtown will be if this strike happens. I typically leave HP at 8am and leave town at 5pm (M-F), but my schedule is flexible as long as I can work 8 hours and be home by 6. I work near 4th and Wood, but I'm willing to walk as long as the drop-off is somewhere in the golden triangle. Anyone have an available seat? thanks, Amy

Was rear ended and my car totaled....so need to buy a car. Before I head to the dealer, just thought I would ask if anyone is selling a reliable, good-in-the-snow,less-than-a-decade-old, and not too flashy (so it doesn't get broken into at work) used car? Just email specs. Thanks Ruth -- Ruth E Hendricks

[Highland Park] Thanks to a neighbor who saw cat fall
by CKulk44＠aol.com 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi, Three weeks ago a neighbor, who was walking his dog by my house, saw my cat fall from the second floor porch. He was kind enough to ring my doorbell and alert me to the situation. I just wanted to say "thanks" to him. I did rush her to the emergency clinic; she has a broken leg (now in a splint); it was traumatic for her since she's 18.5 years old, but she's doing OK and, amazingly, adapting to the splint. So, again, thanks to the unknown neighbor! What a great neighborhood! Claudette **************Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com.
