[Highland Park] Electrician
by Jason Striner 25 Aug '09

Does anybody know of an electrician that they could recommend for a quick electrical job. I need to have a main breaker replaced. I had done a few of the small breakers on my own but the main is a bit intimidating and I am not going to attempt it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[Highland Park] Landscaping contractor recommendations?
by adamvalerie＠gmail.com 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hello, We're looking for someone to do some work in our yard, but I think we'll need something more than just a landscaper. The yard is rather small, but we'd like to remove a chain-link fence (including fence posts sunk in concrete), rebuild a retaining wall, level the entire yard by backfilling it, install a new fence, and possibly put in new sod. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who does this sort of work? Many thanks, as always!

[Highland Park] Missing: tall brown tabby cat
by Ilva Putzier 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Dear Neighbors, we are searching for our male (neutered, microchipped) cat, FRITZI, who did not return home since noontime yesterday (Monday). It's unusual for him not to return for his morning mealtimes, so we guess his curiosity got him into troubles... We would appreciate if you could have a look out for him around Farragut Street (especially between Stanton and Hampton Ave - we live close to Wellesley), but also on Sheridan and North Highland (btw. Wellesley and Jackson). Please open your garage/basement doors to check if he might be locked in (e.g. at Peacock Manor?). Also, he likes to socialize with two other neighborhood cats, Moxie and Johnny - maybe their owners have spotted him. Fritzi is a tall, ca. 15 pound, brown tabby with "ralley striped" face, lots of black stripes on his back, light green eyes. He is wearing a tan reflecting collar with a name tag, including our phone number (see also below), and his rabies tag (you'll hear him jingle around). He is very friendly but can be frightened of cars/loud sounds. Thanks for looking out for him - we are extremely thankful for any information!

[Highland Park] Crawling Club
by Annika O'Malley 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

My name is Annika O'Malley. My 13 month old daughter Emma and I are interested in starting a "Crawling Club" in the area. We were thinking the club could meet once a week, in the home of one of the members, for a few hours in the afternoon. We would love to host the first meeting in our home and would like to find out if there are others interested. Emma is learning to speak German and English so children, and parents, with foreign language skills would be a bonus! Please reply to this message if you are interested, or if you have an idea how this may work better. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you soon! Annika & Emma

We found a deal too good to pass up and have purchased a new washer/dryer and so are selling our current set. They both work, no complaints - $150 for the set (electric dryer), you haul. The only catch is that you would have to pick up by Saturday. If interested, please contact me at kmfreed(a)msn.com. Thanks! Kate
