[Highland Park] Do you have an empty apt available for a short-term lease?
by Dan Martin 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

A friend of mine recently moved to Pittsburgh and is now in the middle of the dreaded house-hunting process. He needs an unfurnished, one-bedroom apartment to carry him for the next three months. The apartment needs to be on the ground-level with exterior access because of his dog's physical condition. So if you have an empty, dog-friendly apartment on the ground floor with direct exterior access that you're eager to rent through the end of June, please send an email to David Dombrosky at <daviddom(a)cmu.edu>. --dan + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Dan J.

[Highland Park] Garage door repair - recommendations?
by William Ghrist 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Has anyone had experience with garage door repair companies? I have a broken spring that needs to be replaced. Fortunately, the car was outside when the spring broke, so this does not need to be done on an emergency basis. Thanks, Bill Ghrist

[Highland Park] big bike trip this summer
by David Sogg 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi, neighbors. I’ve signed up to do a major bike trip this summer, run by Adventure Cycling. It goes from Missoula MT to Anchorage AK, from June 6 to August 15 – 3200 miles. I’m looking for a few more people who might be interested to register by April 6. (The tour will be cancelled if they don’t get 3 more participants by then.) Look at the description at HYPERLINK "http://adventurecycling.org/tours/2008northstar.cfm"http://adventurecycling .org/tours/2008northstar.cfm The trip is very long, tough, full of mosquitoes, and expensive. It will also be absolutely incredible. Please sign up if you can, or spread the word if you can’t. David Sogg 412-361-5704 No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

[Highland Park] Car break-ins
by MLR5813＠aol.com 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

1100 block of Heberton Street: Last Tuesday or Wednesday, March 11 or 12th, our cars (2) were ransacked for the 4th time in several months. The cars were either parked on the street in front of our house or in our driveway. This time the lock was pried off the passenger door. Each time small change was taken and everything in the glove box and console was all over the floor. I don't understand why no one hears the car alarms. The break-ins occur between 11:00 at night and 7:00 in the morning. It is very frustrating to continually experience these thefts - and repairing the locks is expensive. **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

A reminder that families (children accompanied by adults!) are invited to St. Andrew's Parish Hall Saturday Morning, March 22, 10:30 a.m., for a morning of Easter Egg Decoration. It is suggested that families bring (at least) a dozen *hard boiled eggs* to color and take home again, and a dozen to contribute to the Parish Egg Hunt on Sunday at 12:15 p.m. Additional *hard boiled eggs* are welcome indeed!
