Hi, Well we are just about finished with our move to Highland Park. Hurray! That said, we have a lot of moving boxes that we are more than happy to share. In fact, some have yet to be used. So, if you are interested, please call us at 412 361 3147. Note that the boxes are across the river in Fox Chapel and must be picked up by Sunday afternoon. After that time we will post boxes that will be available in HP as we unpack. Rich and Bonnee Bunkerhill

[Highland Park] one more car theft
by Jean Thomas 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

A guest left her station wagon unlocked for about 45 minutes Friday afternoon. That was enough time for someone to take two suitcases and leave other things in a jumble. Interestingly enough, a blue gym bag containing shoes (large) socks, shorts, etc that did not belong to her was left in the car. The theft was reported and the bag given to the police officer. So this is yet another reminder to ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR. Jean Thomas

[Highland Park] Cherry Toddler bed for sale
by Heather Conrad 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Everyone, I have a beautiful toddler bed with mattress available for $50. It is stained cherry color, but I'm not sure what the wood is made of. I will include the sheet that is in the photo as well as a sheet with tiny roses and I believe I have a plain white fitted sheet as well. The bed is very sturdy and was lightly used. I am attaching photos, and have larger versions available if you would like to see them. Heather Conrad 412.606.9263 conradhs(a)gmail.com
