dawn from highland court was kind enough to point out that the "gunshots" that we heard were actually firecrackers and the hoodlums were probably not up early but instead never went to bed :) kelly weinheimer callowhill st.

[Highland Park] Re: School Buses again
by Nancy Levine-Arnold 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Dear Neighbors, I recall there was an email exchange earlier in the year regarding reckless driving by school buses around our neighborhood. I have almost been hit twice in the last 2 months by a school bus and decided to write a letter to the Director of Pupil Transportation. I have attached the letter in the event that it is of interest to anyone. Nancy Arnold

[Highland Park] Gunshots on Saturday Morning/Burglary
by Kelly Weinheimer 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

I was awakened on Saturday around 5:30 a.m. by the sound of rapid gunfire. I called 911 and the operator told me that something was happening at Portland and Bryant. Does anyone know what? I wasn't aware that hoodlums were such early risers. I checked the police blotter for Zone 5 but didn't see anything related to the shooting. I did, however, see that there was a burglary in the 5000 block of Elgin. Yikes! What's happening here? Kelly Callowhill Street

[Highland Park] Moving - Free Executive Desk!!
by Richard Whitlock 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Dear Neighbors, I am moving from Highland Park (the Eaglemoor next to Tazza D'Oro) to Friendship and will no longer have the room for this great piece of furniture. It is in very good condition and was passed on to me by my parents last year. The whole desk is made of solid red oak has no easily discernible marks on it. I am having trouble loading the pictures from my camera and will try to circulate them later in the day. It is well suited to be used in either an professional setting or home office. I have to be out of my apartment by Wednesday at noon. Consequently, this is a first come, first serve basis. If interested, the best way to get a hold of me is by phone 412-780-1033. - Tres Whitlock

[Highland Park] Car Ransacked
by Michael M. Nadler 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Dear Neighbors - I left my car with the windows open and doors unlocked right on the parking patio besides our house here on Callowhill Street this afternoon, while only in my office over looking said Parking Patio, or in the Gameroom, next to the Parking Patio. Now I had made sure that there was nothing of any vale in this '94 Explorer, but someone took interest I it and ransacked it. All those warnings about this, and on a beautiful day with us just being home a couple of hours before going out, and yes it did happen. The glove box items were strewn about, as well as those from the center console, but nothing taken, nor any damage. My neighbors were sitting right on their front porch and never heard a thing. Just wanted to pass this on to everyone as we enjoy these unseasonably comfortable days. Please keep your house/car locked, and watch out for your neighbors.

[Highland Park] Looking for House to Buy or Rent in Highland Park
by Will Walker 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Well, it looks like we have sold our much-loved Highland Park home, but we still want to stay in the neighborhood--we just need to downsize. So, we are looking for a 3 or more bedroom house to buy or rent. If you have or will have a house for sell that is not already MLS-listed (we have seen all of those already), please contact me (contact information below). I think a bungalow-style house would be perfect. Or if you have a Highland Park home for rent we are very interested. Please be aware that we have 2 dogs so we need a pet-friendly place (we are willing to pay any deposit you would want--our pets are house-trained, well-cared-for, and clean). Please contact me if you can help us. Thanks. --Will Walker 1315 Cordova Road (for now) 412.848.8320 wwalker(a)fastmail.fm ----- Will Walker wwalker(a)fastmail.fm 1315 Cordova Road Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412/362-2899
