Greetings Neighbors, This Saturday Night, March 6th, I will be singing at Engine House 25 Winery! Where and What is Engine House 25 Winery you ask ? Well, if you have ever noticed that great old Fire House on Penn Ave. at the heart of the "Doughboy" statue headed toward Lawrenceville, that is Engine House 25, and they have a Winery in the basement as well as the Roberto Clemente Museum ! What a marvelous place it is! Every first Saturday of each month Engine House hosts a music concert series in collaboration with The American Music Crossroads Center & the Clemente Society called..."Red, White and Blues". It runs from 8:00-10:30pm and this Saturday March 6th. Jeff Grubbs will be on bass ( he has a rare night off from the Pittsburgh Symphony), Mark Strickland will be joining us on Guitar and I will be singing! There is a cover charge of $10.00 per person, the price included access to a huge portion of the Roberto Clemente Museum, and live music. The wine is separate, but oh so good! We hope that you will join us, and be sure to tell a friend who will tell a friend! Please pass on the word! Peace, Tania Grubbs Vocalist

[Highland Park] Fw: Jackson street shooting
by Bob Staresinic 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

I am just passing this on. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherry Goldman To: Highland Park moderator Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 11:11 AM Subject: Jackson street shooting Regarding the shooting of the China Palace Chinese food delivery man who was shot on Jackson street last Saturday: They lured him there with a phony food order, waited for him to ambush him , shot him, and took all his money. I am appalled that something like this happened in our special neighborhood! This was on the other end of our street. Too close for comfort. How could this have happened? We need to get these criminals off the street.

by lynnwcox＠comcast.net 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

I found a program from the 2009 Urbanna Conference with notes and a New Testament lying in the road on Bryant Street near the intersection with Sheridan yesterday (Thursday, 2/25.) Attached to the program was a nametag for Rebecca Odegaard. The program and Bible are dry and in usuable shape, so let me know if you (Rebecca or whoever) would like them back.
