[Highland Park] Advice: National Register of Historic Places
by 52q9mccarthy＠gmail.com 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi: I am a Highland Park resident and a history professor at Robert Morris University. I am currently working (on behalf of RMU) with a community in Moon Township on getting that neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After recalling our own neighborhood's recent success in gaining this listing (congrats!) I thought it would be terrific to meet with whomever from the community who worked on this is willing to share any advice or wisdom in completing the application. My own area of specialty is urban history, but I've never worked on a preservation project before, so as a novice in this field, I'd be very obliged to hear advice or war stories or anything else about the process. I emailed the Highland Park CDC directly, at an address I found on the web, but it bounced back to me. I'm assuming some CDC folks participate in this forum. Anyone who was involved with this, feel free to respond at your convenience. Thanks! John McCarthy -- John McCarthy, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of History Department of Social Sciences 132 Lafayette Center Robert Morris University 6001 University Boulevard Moon Township, PA 15108-1189 (412) 397-5412

I have a female friend who has relocated back to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia and has taken a job with UPMC in Shadyside. She is looking for a nice sized one bedroom or two bedroom apartment if price is reasonable w/utilities. It needs to be close to busline and nice part of Highland Park OR Shadyside where she can feel safe. Washer and Dryer and garage or place to park car would also be very ideal. She is looking to rent the beginning of August. If anyone has something that might fit this description, please get back to me as soon as possile as she would like to go apartment hunting this weekend. Access to the 71A Negley would be ideal. Thanks so much! Francine
