[Highland Park] Survey revised so non-PAT users can complete
by Chris Sandvig 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Neighbors, A fellow neighbor pointed out that she could not complete the survey because she is not a Port Authority rider. I changed the survey so that non-riders could complete it. In the questions dealing with your transit usage info (your bus, etc.), please just click on 'Not Applicable.' Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=i_2bIjZyYMIM6ngFLXjlDvUg_3d_3d Again, many thanks for your input! Chris

[Highland Park] August Walk in the Woods
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Neighbors, Please join me for another Walk in the Woods (the park) on Wednesday evening, August 26, 2009 at 6:30pm. We start at the fountain, walk in the woods as much as we can, and end up back at the fountain about an hour later. The walk should be fun for everyone, but keep in mind that paths and steps in the park can be uneven. Take precautions against bugs and weather if necessary. As of right now there's a chance of rain Wednesday evening. Keep an eye on the forecast. For the remaining schedule (including remaining walks in the other parks) see the Pittsburgh Parks web site: http://www.pittsburghparks.org/walks-in-the-woods Rudy

[Highland Park] dog crate?
by judi teeter 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Hi, We suddenly acquired a new dog today, and wondering whether anyone has a crate they are not using to either give us or sell cheap. We donated a dog crate to someone on the list last year, thinking we wouldn't be getting another dog. . . Our new dog is 50ish pounds. Thanks! Judi Teeter

[Highland Park] Port Authority: Make your voice heard - please take the survey!
by Chris Sandvig 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Neighbors, As you may know, the Port Authority is studying ways to change - and improve - transit service throughout the region, called Connect 09. You may have participated in public forums in the past. Through Councilman Dowd's office, we have a chance to provide direct input to the Port Authority about our views on transit and any changes that may come. I have created a survey, at the below link, to collect neighborhood feedback about transit. I hope you will take a couple minutes to fill it out: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=i_2bIjZyYMIM6ngFLXjlDvUg_3d_3d Our meeting is Tuesday morning. We would love your input by then, but we will be collecting this information beyond that. Please note that this survey is to collect GENERAL information about the neighborhood's feelings toward transit and will be used to inform the Port Authority. Also Councilman Dowd's office was not involved in the creation of this survey, nor will it be involved in the compilation of the results. If you are interested in finding out more about Connect 09, please check out this website: http://tdp.portauthority.org/paac/ Thank you for your help! Chris Sandvig

Hello all, I have an Apple iMac, indigo in color, for sale. It has a 30mb hard drive, 192megs of RAM, keyboard and mouse. Currently Debian Linux 5.0 is installed but Mac OS can be reinstalled. It's old but still good for kids games, or for development of other operating systems and their apps on the PowerPC platform.
