[Highland Park] Request for Plastic Toy Containers with Cardboard Backing
by Jeffrey Dorsey 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Dear Neighbors, I'm starting a new art project and hoping to collect the clear plastic holder and cardboard backing that toy action figures, dolls, and other small objects come in. I'm interested in anything between 4-12 inches tall and would take the molded plastic container front part even without the card board backing if the backing get's ripped when being open by a small child. I'm imagining that a lot of these kinds of packages will be tossed in the garbage after Christmas anyway and so I'm asking if you have one of these packages to drop it off at Union Project (801 N. Negley Avenue) for me instead. UP is closed for the holiday and reopens again January 3rd. Our hours are 9-5pm with some evening classes but you are welcome to leave them in a bag or box on the Stanton side porch with my name on it as well. If you have any questions about this, feel free to email me at jdorsey641(a)gmail.com or call me at work 412-363-4550x26. Thanks and happy holidays! Jeffrey Dorsey -- Jeffrey Dorsey Executive Director Union Project

Just a followup on the pooch - apparently the owners picked him up from the shelter this morning! (We've been worried about him and have been calling to get updates on his status...) Thanks for all of the tips on where to post info ( http://www.telephonepole.org is a great new find!) and clues about who the owners might be.

It does not regenerate rapidly and is vital to the swamp ecosystem. It is a waste of a good and magnificent tree to grind it up and throw it on your garden. Also, it does not even make very good mulch. For more information and alternative mulches, go to: www.saveourcypress.org

[Highland Park] Dog found.
by Toby Smith 13 Dec '10

My wife was just out walking our dog along Jackson, and this handsome fellow followed her home. He was a little sketchy at first but we've managed to get him in the house so he's out of the cold weather. He has a collar but no tags. He seems to be well fed and healthy. We'll try to keep him for a few hours before taking him to the shelter. Please give us a call at 412-329-4605 if he's yours or you know whose he might be. >

by Julie McCracken 13 Dec '10

Hi Neighbors! Has anyone had good/bad experiences with Verizon Fios (just for tv & internet, not home phone) in the area? Thinking of switching from Comcast since they're running a decent sign-on special. Thanks for any advice!
