[Highland Park] Looking for 2BR apartment
by Quinn Reil 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

My roommate and I currently live in Highland Park and are not able to renew our current lease. We would like to stay in Highland Park if possible, but would consider apartments in the surrounding area (Friendship, East Liberty, Morningside, etc). We are looking for a 2 bedroom apartment that will allow cats. A garage or walk-in basement is also high on the list of desired amenities. We are low-key (no wild parties), no smoking, no drugs. We have always paid rent on time. I am employed full-time in a stable job. My roommate is a part-time employee while working on a Master's degree at Pitt. We are currently looking at Craigslist, but if you know of a 2 bedroom apartment for rent, please contact me. Thank you, Quinn Reil. _________________________________________________________________ Reunite with the people closest to you, chat face to face with Messenger. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9650736

[Highland Park] Do you want to be trained to sell online (eBay, etc.) & be given some antiques/collectibles to sell?
by janet jai 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi, I live here in Highland Park, and I have been selling antiques and collectibles online for many years, especially eBay though lately I've branched out. I have limited time to sell things, and I have a storage locker full of antiques and collectibles to sell. I thought someone might value learning how to sell online in return for selling some of the things I have on a 50/50 basis after expenses are deducted. To do this, you need to have your own computer & a digital camera & be able to take fairly decent close-up photos since most of what I have is small stuff. I can provide you with a lot of stuff to sell so there would be no cost to you there until you want to go out looking on your own. I am NOT seeking an employee or assistant. I want to train someone who wants to set up her own business, pay her own taxes, etc. This kind of business can be done from home and in whatever time is available to you morning, afternoon, evening, night, whatever.... I do want you to be serious about earning money in this way or it's not worth my time to train you. If you are interested, contact me via e-mail or 412-362-7607. I will interview the people who contact me and see if it seems like we are compatible and then choose one or possibly two people to train. I am especially interested in helping women to establish their own businesses. I also want to work with people who have good values, including ethics. If you already have your own business and are interested in expanding in this way, I'm open to that too. Thanks very much. janet jai P.S. Unfortunately this is NO get-rich-quick scheme, especially in this economy, but I think we can both earn something this way, and right now I find that every dollar counts. One fun part with online auctions is that sometimes you can earn quite a bit with something that you didn't think was worth much at all. But again, this economy makes that happen less often. You will learn some useful long-term skills. Thanks.

[Highland Park] A few more items for sale...
by kelly flanagan dee 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi again... Sorry, doing some more spring cleaning and want to offer these other things up for sale... Apple iBook G4: . It is a good little machine that has served me very well over the last couple years, however it is in need of a new logic board, so it's not working right now. It has an almost new, upgraded 60 GB hard drive in it and with the exception of the logic board, everything else was working perfectly, including the battery which still held a good charge. I am selling it for parts/ you could buy it and replace the part and it should work fine.I'd like to sell it quickly. If you're someone that knows about these things, I'm sure the parts could serve you well. I spent $200 recently on the new hard drive alone. Vintage Console Stereo: vintage Electrophonic (a british model) stereo console. It is in excellent working condition, with an AM/FM radio, turntable, and 8-track player. It's definitely a collectible and I paid a lot more for it when a bought it several years ago. It's a great conversation piece, a great way to listen to your old records and if I didn't need the money, I wouldn't sell it. I also have a like new TV I'm not using (I think it's Samsung, maybe about 26" or so) and a like new excellent condition microwave. Make me an offer on either/both. If you buy the TV, I'll throw in my Phillips DVD player i'm not using either. Thanks Kelly (412-874-8231)

A dog fitting that description has been wandering around our house near Jackson/Heberton several times this week. S/he's been in our back yard and also up on our front porch. Does it belong to anyone? Erin -------------------- Is anyone missing a grey and white long-haired (husky-looking mix) dog? A dog fitting that description was running around in front of Tazza D'Oros Tuesday night around 9:30pm. (I'm keeping an eye out for grey and white long haired guinea pigs next.) -Barton

[Highland Park] stolen bike
by Jack and Liz Buchanan 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hello neighbors, I let the dog out on Wednesday evening and realized the garage door (down our driveway) was up. Noticed some bikes knocked over, with one missing (adult bikes are tied to ceiling-two kids bikes remained). Filed a police report. . Must have happened between 7pm and 10:30 when I went out. If you happen to see a 13" blue Trek 820 with 26" black wheels, please email me. And if anyone is looking to sell a similar bike that their child has grown out of, I'm suddenly in the market. We had just bought the bike at the end of August, too. Liz jacknliz(a)yahoo.com Jackson Street

[Highland Park] Another car break-in
by Stephanie Walsh 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Sadly I have to report that our car was broken into on Tuesday night of this week. We live on the 1300 block of Sheridan. What is worth noting is that we typically are very conscientious about locking our car. However, that evening we got back late, had a house guest, sleepy kids, etc., and neglected to lock the car. My guess is that whomever is responsible simply walked down the street checking car doors until they found an easy opportunity. They took our GPS and a cell phone - - a costly reminder to remove valuables from cars and always lock them. (And yes, we filed a police report.)
