[Highland Park] Point Brugge rumors confirmed
by Valerie Cummings 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Just wanted to let everyone know - We ate at Point Brugge in Regent Square last night, and overheard another patron ask the owner if he was opening a new location. Sure enough, he said they're opening another Point Brugge on Bryant St. in Highland Park, and they hope to be open this fall! He said the location is a former dry cleaners. It's great to see another fabulous dining option coming to the neighborhood!

[Highland Park] small landscaping jobs
by Denise 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi folks,I am looking for someone to cut my grass in the summertime and occasionally come over to weed a hillside and some flower beds. Most landscaping companies feel that my job is too small. Is there anyone out there who is interested in this type of job or can you make recommendations? I do have dogs so it would need to be someone who is "pet-friendly". Thank you! -- Denise PetSitPgh, LLC www.petsitpgh.com 412-956-0787

[Highland Park] quilting frame
by Susan Ryan 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Many thanks to all who responded to my request for a quilting frame (my husband was doubtful but I knew there were a lot of quilters out there!). We found one and it will help us teach the students at St. Raphael School in Morningside. This is a wonderful school of kind teachers, administration, and staff who stress learning and good behavior. I recommend it highly. It is convenient as well; a short 12 minute walk, or 4 minute drive from Highland Park. Best wishes. --

[Highland Park] Tankless water heating
by RACHEL MCCURDY 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Has anyone had the tankless water heater installed in their home? I'm interested in it, but I'd like to get some feedback first. How do you like it? More importantly, what's the general cost of it? I just want to get an idea before I go any further with it. Thanks in advance, Rachel
