[Highland Park] Dentist Recomendation
by Nathan Frink 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi. I'm a bit of a newcomer to Pittsburgh and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good dentist in the area. I was thinking about just going to the East Liberty Family center but if anyone has a doctor that they think very highly of, it would be much more helpful. Thanks. Nathan nathan.frink(a)yahoo.com

[Highland Park] Tree removal
by Darren Belajac 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi Neighbors, does someone have the tree removal company list? I don't actually need any trees/branches removed, just a company/someone to come and throw some debris through a wood chipper. All the debris is in a pile by the curb. It's about a 15 minute job. Anyone out there with a chipper give me a call at 412.855.0049. Darren Belajac

Hey, As somewhat promised, Brunton's milk in the returnable glass bottle will be here Thursday afternoon. We will start with 4 Varieties, half gallons only. - whole milk @ 3.49 ea. - 2% milk @ 3.49 ea. - skim milk @ 3.49 ea. - chocolate milk @ 3.99 ea Brunton's only delivers once a week and has a 12 day shelf life, Thursday will be our normal delivery day. So plan accordingly. As we speak, the construction has just gone past the store heading towards N. Highland. I'm thinking 2 more weeks, best case scenario. I had a number of people ask about the turkeys and I will answer all questions Turkeys will be Bell and Evans all natural, cage free, hormone free birds. Pricing and sizing will be relayed at the end of the month when I get firm details. Bell and Evans products are fantastic and can be found all over the city. I will also look into turkey breasts for those just looking for something small. We will have all the staples for a tasty Thanksgiving dinner, so keep me in mind :) I will let yinz know when the prepared foods is up and running.
