[Highland Park] David M Bailey in concert - free and open to the public
by Ellie Johns 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Where: Pittsburgh Theological Seminary When: Friday, July 17 at 7 p.m. david’s story is one of tenacious faith and gentle passion. On July 4, 1996, doctors told david he had a malignant brain tumor and would be dead in 6 months. In response, david left his corporate career and returned to his first love of songwriting and performing, hoping to share his new insights on hope and faith. 12 years, 18 albums, 44 states and hundreds of concerts later, david, his songs, and his ministry are alive and thriving. The son of Presbyterian missionaries, david spent his childhood in Beirut, Lebanon. He learned his first chords from his seventh grade English teacher, then went on to study classical guitar. He soon began writing his own songs and made his first recording a year later. The Lebanese civil war forced him to complete high school in Germany where he spent his weekends as a street musician; during these years he formed a small ensemble that toured throughout Central and Eastern Europe. In college, he played extensively in an original acoustic duo, but then put his guitar away and entered corporate America. Following his diagnosis, david returned to the stage in what has become an exciting and vibrant solo career. david’s songs are reminiscent of folk legends like James Taylor and Cat Stevens, though he also points to the eclectic influences of Kahlil Gibran, David Wilcox, and J.S. Bach. Strong melodies and intricate finger picking help deliver keen, witty and insightful lyrics about time, faith, hope, love, and dreams. a “prophet with a guitar, ” david’s voice is one that resonates with surprising depth and clarity among all ages, keeping his music both universal and timeless. FFrom Beirut to Budapest, from Pittsburgh to Portland, and on hundreds of stages in between, he has inspired and entertained thousands of listeners. In cchurches, conference centers and coffeehouses, david challenges all of us to live passionately and to treasure the beauty of each new day. Ddon’t miss david as he brings his inimitable character and charisma (and cup of coffee) to the stage for an amazing evening of great music at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary on Friday, July 17*. at 7 p.m.* CD’s will be available for purchase after the show. For directions or information call *(412.362.5610 x2281).*

by Holly Anderton 16 Jul '09

If you can't make the meeting in Oakland this evening, there are 2 more in Carrick and on the Northside. http://www.carnegielibrary.org/about/future/#meetings Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh officials today announced the scheduling of three “town hall” meetings which the public is invited to attend to learn more about the library system’s funding and financial matters that were announced last week. Last week, the Library reported that it projects a $6 million budget shortfall by 2014 if no changes are made to its current system. As it considers options for changes to the system in the process it calls “*Libraries for Life: Sustaining Our Future,*” the Library is seeking public input. Changes will be recommended to the Library’s Board of Trustees by September and begin to be implemented for the 2010 budget year. The 90-minute “town hall” meetings will include a brief presentation, as well as an opportunity for individuals to express what is important to them in terms of Library service. *WHO:* Hosted by the leadership of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and moderated by representatives from the League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh. *WHAT:* A brief program will be presented outlining the financial situation faced by Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Individuals are encouraged to comment about Library services. *WHEN &* Thursday, July 16 at 7:00 p.m. *WHERE:* CLP – Main; Lecture Hall, 4400 Forbes Avenue Saturday, July 18, at 10 a.m. Carrick High School; Auditorium, 125 Parkfield Street Tuesday, July 21 at 7:00 p.m. CCAC-Allegheny Campus; SSC Auditorium, 808 Ridge Avenue Holly Anderton Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh holly.anderton(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] mulch
by Alison Bogle 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hello Neighbors, I am in need of mass quantities of mulch for a gardening project. Instead of buying individual bags, I would like to purchase a large amount and have it delivered. I'm looking for black mulch - I guess that would be pine bark? At any rate, can anyone recommend a company with a good and ideally well priced product? Thanks!

Hi everyone, As you guys may have heard, the man who attacked my friend last Friday has been caught. An anonymous tip was given to the police by someone who lives in the area. I want to thank everyone for their kind words and for looking out for this man. I made a ton of posters that I didn't even have to go hang up because of people like you guys who were already looking for him. Thank you to the police and to my neighbors for being vigilant and helping bring this man to justice. It's great to see that we can all look out for our neighbors. Many thanks, Anna Montano
