[Highland Park] child car seats
by ValerieCSweeney＠comcast.net 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

I have a half a dozen 5-point harness car seats rattling around my house. Pretty sure they are all Graco. My kids outgrew them (just fyi, for the cautious types: my youngest is 3, and my guys are the youngest of a dozen grandkids, so we have all sorts of gear to spare, even of stuff the littlest is still using one of). I know Goodwill and Vietnam Vets won't take car seats, even if they are in good shape (yes) and have never been in a car accident (no). I am pretty sure Freecycle also has the same restrictions, although I will doublecheck. If there's anyone who needs an extra carseat for, I don't know, a grandparent's or babysitter's car or an extra for some reason, you are welcome to one or all of mine. Email me back. I hate to just stick them out for the trash but that's the only other option.

A friend of mine has a daughter who's starting up a business selling embossed note cards and small-format, limited edition prints of Pittsburgh landmarks like the Kaufmann's clock. I just saw these on her etsy site and they are really nice looking. Other landmarks include the Smithfield Bridge, County Courthouse, Union Station and PPG Place.

[Highland Park] looking for venue
by Ansell, Ellen Sue 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

We are a Highland Park family trying to identify an appropriate venue for an event that will involve about 100 people. It will include dinner and "table games" (cards, board games, etc.). We were hoping to find a place that has a "cozy" atmosphere, but at this point, just need a place. We thought that others in Highland Park may know of some places that we haven't thought of ourselves. We are happy to compile such a list for folks to refer to in the future. Thank you! Ellen Ansell
