Hi neighbors, We still have the loveseat and chair available for $75. The furniture is very good quality construction, and worth reupholstering. Current upholstery is serviceable but worn, in a warm grey velvet, with down cushions. Call us at 502-533-2955 or respond by email. Thanks, Susan Rademacher -- Susan M.

[Highland Park] Looking for a Lightweight Wheel Chair
by Lydia Blank 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Hi neighbors. My 90+ year old great uncle broke his hip and is now back home from the hospital recovering. He's looking for a transport chair that weighs 19 lbs or less...something without big wheels that's easy for his daughter to load in and out of the car trunk when they go out... Anyone have one that they aren't using anymore or know where he can get one? If so, please email me back and I'll get you in touch with his wife. Thanks so much! Lydia Blank

[Highland Park] Mom Swap?
by Erik Schark 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello Highland Park Moms - I have been thinking of organizing a Highland Park Mom Swap. No, not switching households (however tempting that may be at times), but holding a monthly (every other month?) exchange of stuff in someone's house. Here's how I think it might work: Everyone brings their lightly-used kid stuff to my house on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Put low price tags on things and bring some cash to get some stuff for yourself. I am hoping that if it takes off, we could eventually move it to other houses, but I'm more than willing to get the ball rolling. Is there interest out there? I have a friend who does this in Michigan and almost everything she has for her kids she got at a Mom swap for cheap. It sounds very appealing to me! I'm thinking of having one in January. E-mail me at gwenwalker(a)verizon.net if you are interested! Happy Holidays! Gwen Walker Highland Court

[Highland Park] List of notaries in HP area
by Neepa Majumdar 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

First, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Since some people asked, I'm posting the suggestions on the list. I omitted those that weren't clear, required some kind of membership, or were too far away. Neepa 1) The largest number of recommendations were for: AAA in East Liberty (Baum Blvd) – you don’t need to be a member. 2) Kinko at East Side near Walgreen's and Whole foods 3) Debbie at Huston and Sons on Main St. -it's just over the Highland Park bridge, Sharpsburg exit, then right onto Main St. They are on right side -big new building with parking lot and signage. Their #is781-(TAXS) 8297 and she's there everyday 4) Any state representative or senator's office has a notary available and free of charge. Call Dom Costa or Jim Ferlo's office for times they are available. 5) I am a Notary Public and I live in Highland Park, on Farragut Street between Jackson and Wellesley. I am happy to do notarizations by appointment. I am not available today, but could make almost any other day work to meet with you, if you are still in need of a Notary. I also wanted to let you know that by law Notaries are only allowed to charge a maximum of $5 per notarization. If anyone tries to charge more than that per notarization, then they are breaking the law! Susan Davis McIntosh, Notary Public susan.davis.mcintosh(a)gmail.com 412-335-9371 6) Having been one myself, I can tell you that ALL notaries are required by law to charge the same price for notary services. There is a clause which lets them charge for “additional services” for which they can set their own price, and in this area there are unfortunately many unscrupulous or just plain not-so-bright notaries who will tell you this means they can charge you extra for a notarization. It doesn’t. I haven’t looked for a while, but I believe for a simple notarization the fee is $5. If you have any questions about what a notarization would cost, just call PAN, the PA Association of notaries at 1-800-944-8790. They can confirm what I tell you, can find a notary for you, and if anyone tries to charge you more than the required fee to notarize your signature, they should be reported. The only place in this area that I have personally found (though I don’t need them very often) is AAA in Motor Square garden. You do NOT have to be a member, the line is usually very short, and they (as they should) only charge you the fee set by law. By the way, all notaries are required by law to display a prominent sign listing their fees (both the ‘notary’ fees set by the state, and the fees for ‘other’ things, such as photocopying. .
