29 Mar '10

Dear Highland Park Im selling an Xbox 360. The console is in very great conditions, it has been used for about 5 months and no problems have occured. I'm also selling 6 xbox 360 video games, a 50 foot Ethernet Cable for Xbox Live, 2 controllers (one wired/one wireless), and a Turtle Beach Headset for an incredible gaming experience. I'm selling all of these things for a very low price of only 300 dollars. The 6 video games are: Gears of War, Halo 2, Top Spin 2, Battlefield Bad Company, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, and Forza 2 Motorsport. Thank you, Connor Claussen

[Highland Park] free stuff
by Gregory Smith 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

After moving, we're left with some furniture and other stuff we don't need. Free, but you have to haul it. Stuff: A dusty bookshelf, with doors on the bottom and a hole for stereo wires or something (photo) A chest of drawers (photo) An Ikea desk with hutch, drawer cart, and CPU cart. Numerous liquid stains, maybe you can clean it or marble it or something (photo) An Epson CX6600 all in one printer. Worked when I disconnected it a long time ago, probably needs ink and heads cleaned, and a USB cable. No photo. Dining room table, about three feet by four feet, mostly sturdy, decent wood top but has some marks on it. No photo. Wheel and tire, from a 2000 Dodge Avenger; white OEM 17" alloy wheel with a P215/R17 Goodyear Eagle LS tire with good tread left. No photo. Send me an email if you're interested in any piece. Gregory

[Highland Park] iris rhizomes looking for a good home
by Joan Soulliere 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hello neighbors, I have three plastic grocery bags of iris rhizomes (with new leaves) I just divided. Some are white and some are light purple with yellow centers. They're mixed up. I lost track of what's what. They will be on the "stoop" by my front door at 915 Farragut Street. Please help yourselves. If anyone has any groundcover (myrtle, pachysandra or sweet woodruff - no ivy please) that they want to get rid of, I could surely use some. Thank you! Joan Soulliere

by E Zimmerman 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi neighbors, My husband and I are interested in receiving locally grown produce (possibly also meats and eggs?) on a regular basis. Which CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farms do you recommend as far as price, quality, quantity, organic, pick-up points etc? Also, if you participate in this, please tell me your day and pick-up point in Highland Park. Thanks! Erin

by Brad Stephenson 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi, My wife and I live in Morningside and are seeking an experienced babysitter for our 1-year-old daughter. This wouldn't necessarily be a regular gig; we'd just like to find someone we trust who could sit for us from time to time. We would prefer a college student with CPR training and at least one reference. We would also consider a responsible high school senior. If you're interested, please email me at bradpstephenson(a)gmail.com. Please send your hourly rate, as well. If you know someone who might be interested, please pass this info along. Thank you, Brad, Gayle and Sadie Stephenson ___ BRAD STEPHENSON bradpstephenson(a)gmail.com
