[Highland Park] stonework/mason recommendation?
by Rebecca Maclean 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

we have quite a bit of decorative stonework and cementwork in our yard, in various degrees of disrepair. Apparently a previous owner (prior to the mid 1950s) was a mason and used the yard as his stress relief. We're not sure what is worth keeping and fixing and what is beyond saving. Can anyone recommend someone who can "triage" our backyard and help us determine what to keep? Thanks! Becky Maclean

Hi neighbors, fellow parents--in case you didn't see, the nearby Waldorf School of Pittsburgh was featured on the front page of the Post-Gazette yesterday--interesting article on the role of handwork--knitting, crocheting, sewing--in the curriculum. Enjoy! http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09065/953555-298.stm

[Highland Park] Red Truck
by Matt McCartney 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Just to ease some minds, there has been a man looking for his lost English Mastiff (Samson)in the neighborhood since Tuesday and he (or one of his friends) is driving around in a red pickup truck. This would explain the odd behavior that a few have noticed. There's at least three others that I've run into as well looking for this dog. Hey neighbors, Speaking of that suspicious red truck... on Wednesday night I was coming down Stanton from Highland (headed twds the municipal bldg and tennis courts). This red truck is driving very slowly down the road road. When I get behind it, the driver pulls over to the side of the road letting me pass and then pulls back into the road. I watched him in my rearview mirror sitting still in the middle of the road for maybe a minute and then slowly starts moving again. I park by my house and he very VERY slowly passes me and continues to creep down the road. This totally creeped me out, but I am a very paranoid person to begin with. I suspected that something wasn't right, but didn't want to get the police involved since I thought I was probably just being paranoid. Now, though, it looks like someone is scouting our neighborhood, so keep an eye out. I would suggest that if others see this vehicle in the neighborhood to also get the plate # and alert the policce so that they can get a sense of what is going on. stay safe -Lou -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

[Highland Park] Suspicious red truck
by Debi Arnett 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Yesterday afternoon I was turning into my block and passed the alleyway directly behind my house. I saw a large commercial truck slowly making its way through the alley and (looked like casing the area) I pulled up in front just in time to see them come onto my street I followed them a block or so and took down the license number and reported it to the police. 2 men were in the vehical and it was a large red open bedded truck. I could not see into the bed as it was higher off the ground and nothing protruded. With people's copper pipe being stolen and other break in's I thought it was worth reporting. Debi

by Rhonda Smith 06 Mar '09

Our young cat has gone missing. She is a long-haired, white cat with a small grey spot on the top of her head. She's wearing a flea collar without any tags. If you have seen her, please contact me at: 412-661-1557 or rhonda(a)smith.net Our kids are rather distraught over her being gone for so long. My four year old is worried that she is hungry. Thank you, Rhonda
