[Highland Park] Looking for gently used outdoor climber for toddler
by LORIFRED9＠aol.com 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

Hi neighbors, Spring is springing...and my 13 month old has discovered climbing. I am looking to buy a gently used "climber" that is small enough to fit on my deck, but big enough for him to climb around in/on...that preferably also has a slide. So before I buy a brand new one, I thought I'd ask my HP neighbors. Maybe someone has one they'd like to sell? Thanks, Lori **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

[Highland Park] I found a cat...could it be yours??
by Deana Ann Boggs 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

Hi Neighbors!! This morning I found a calico cat roaming in my driveway...she (or he) had been out wandering all night (I heard the cat howling all night). This cat has calico markings with gold eyes and a mostly black nose. Cat is VERY friendly and affectionate...and might I add VERY hungry. She is currently residing in my garage with plenty of food and water and a comfy place to rest...although I cannot keep her. She seems to be domesticated so I'm wondering if she belongs to anyone in the area. Please email me back with any information that you might have pertaining to the cat. If I get no responses in the next few days, I'll be dropping her off at Animal Friends on Camp Horne Road in hope of her finding a nice family to care for her... Thanks for reading...

[Highland Park] Orthopedist recommendation
by Kate Freed 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for an orthopedist, ideally with a focus on sports injuries. Always hard to pick from a long list of names in a directory - if you have had a good experience with anyone in particular (or even someone you have not been happy with) - I would appreciate if you would send those names along. Thanks! Kate kmfreed(a)msn.com

RE: [Highland Park] Copper Thieves

Dear Neighbors – We too have been on the receiving end of some uninvited guests. On Wednesday evening, 26 MAR 08, five of our downspouts were removed from our house while we were at the airport picking up our Nephew. On Thursday morning my wife found elbows that had been dropped on the front porch. These people did not look for a place to steal in the darkness, but from the front and along the alley of our home were there are street lights. They obviously were not quiet from the parts and pieces that were left behind, but they did not get the attention of any of our neighbors. Total value for their efforts will be around $33.00 in scrap, but should we replace with the same, it would come to several hundred dollars, but less than the deductable on the home insurance. If you hear or see anyone around that you do not know, just make your presence known, but do not confront. Alert your neighbors because these people do not want people around. Take notes and call the police. Our neighbors all have been in contact with us, and it is truly comforting to know that we live in such a nice community, even when such things happen to us.
