Someone kindly contacted me by phone about the Kimball piano we posted for sale earlier in the week, and I believe I may have written down the phone number incorrectly before efficiently deleting the phone message. Anyone (still) interested in the piano is invited to write back or call 412-363-7747. I promise to do better next time! -- Lynn Cox

[Highland Park] Eco-Illumination Comes to Schenley Plaza
by Laura Cook 29 Dec '08

Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy News Contact: Laura Cook 412-682-7275, ext 220 lcook(a)pittsburghparks.org Eco-Illumination Comes to Schenley Plaza Festive Holiday Lighting Brings Community Spirit (PITTSBURGH December 17, 2008) Holiday cheer has lit up Schenley Plaza with the help of the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. In addition to the sparkling trees that are a Plaza tradition, this years lighting features festive banners thanks to a Power of Light grant from the Duquesne Light Company. Duquesne Light is proud to be a part of this effort. The Power of Light seeks to build strong and vibrant communities throughout the Pittsburgh region, and beautiful outdoor space is one key feature, said Morgan OBrien of the Duquesne Light Company. The entire lighting display features approximately 35,000 LED lights bedecking the trees and banners surrounding the Plaza. LED lights are more expensive to purchase, but use less power than typical light strands to create a beautiful effect with less environmental impact. They last ten times longer representing a distinct environmental benefit in terms of constructability, useful life span, and disposal. The lighting will be on display through February 2009. Swirling through the blue banners is the curving red motif from the Schenley Plaza logo. This beautiful lighting display has been designed locally and installed under the direction of the Parks Conservancys Maintenance and Management Director, Phil Gruszka. The residents of the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County are very fortunate to have great parks and staff that care for them. During the winter months, when darkness prevails, we tend to retreat to our homes and fireplaces. Festive holiday lighting is just one item in parks that gives residents a good reason to bundle up, take a walk and enjoy the beauty that exists outdoors even during the winter season, said Gruszka. About the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy -- Operating by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Schenley Plaza is the grand entrance to Schenley Park, located between the Carnegie and Hillman Libraries on Forbes Avenue. The Parks Conservancy improves quality of life for the people of Pittsburgh by restoring the park system to excellence in partnership with the City. Restoration efforts are conducted with environmental sensitivity and respect for historic landscape design and the recreational needs of modern users.

Thanks to the many Highland Park neighbors who responded with sympathy and recommendations for leaded glass repair for our damaged front entrance. We now have quite a list to choose from. Perhaps we can add to the list of contractors, etc. So best wishes for the New Year to everyone. Jean Thomas

[Highland Park] In search of...a kitchen faucet
by Shelly Danko+Day 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hello dear neighbors! My husband, Brett & I are in the midst of doing some work on our kitchen. We just realized that the faucet we have (that we purchased when we bought our house in 1999!!!) doesn't work. Needless to say the warrentee is past, and we need a faucet for our sink! If anyone has one just laying around, please let me know. To go with the kitchen, we're looking for a "high arch" or "goose neck" type faucet in a shiny or brushed silver color. (OH! and we need a squirty thing, too, cause there's a hole in the sink for it.) We'll buy one if need be, but if anyone has one it would be a great help! Thanks for being there!
