[Highland Park] Recommendations for Tree Removal/Service
by Martha Riecks 29 May '08

29 May '08

I'm not sure if this has been asked recently or not - does anyone have recommendations on Tree Service/Tree Removal companies? The tradespersons list only lists Davy Tree. We needed to remove a damaged and dying tree from our backyard this spring. We've used Three Rivers in the past, but I've called twice about getting estimates for this removal and they've never gotten back to us. As the tree is still there, and summer's here, I think it is time to find a different company at this point. Any recommendations? Thank you! Martha Riecks mriecks(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Babysitter Here
by Lou Hanson 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hi my name is Lou Hanson and I am a graduate student at Pitt. For the past year I have been working with special needs children (mostly with an MR or Autism Spectrum diagnosis) as a therapeutic support staff doing play therapy. Unfortunately this summer the agency was not able to give me as many hours as I need so here I am trying to pick up some extra work on the side. If you or someone you know is in need of child care (typical or special needs) please give me a call and we can work out a schedule. 724-994-0184 Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. -Lou Hanson
