[Highland Park] California King Bed for sale: frame, mattress, linens
by Ariana Mangual 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi Neighbors, As you may have seen from my previous postings, I'm in the process of selling my furniture because I'm moving from a big house in Pittsburgh to a tiny apartment in NYC. I'm selling the bed that's been in my master bedroom for the past two years-- it's a California King size bed that I bought two years ago. It's in great shape and has been well cared for. As you can see, I'd just like to cut my losses on the mattress, frame, and linens. It's super comfortable and a great deal! I'd like $800 for everything listed below, but I'm inviting all reasonable offers. Ariana Here's what's included in the sale: - the California King Size mattress, Orthopedic Extra Firm I bought it at the Original Mattress Factory in Aspinwall for $1,000 just two years ago. - the California King bed frame I paid $400 two years ago. It is an espresso-colored wood platform frame. It comes with the original wooden slats and two metal cross beam slats for support. The dimensions of the frame are: 88" long, 78" wide, 45" high at the headboard and 22" high for the rest of the bed. - 4 sets of cotton sheets (includes fitted and regular sheet + 2 king sized pillow cases) I paid between $75-100 for each set. 1 beige set 2 of the same mint colored sets 1 flannel green and plaid set - 1 cotton comforter I paid $90. - 2 King sized pillows I paid about $20 each.

[Highland Park] Cell Phone Data
by Richard Kuroski 06 Apr '10

Wow! It never occurred to me that so many folks in HP had cell phone problems. Of all the e-mails we have sent out requesting recommendations this was one had the largest response. In order to share the info I did a copy and paste with Word. It's not the neatest doc, but it does incorporate all the e-mails that you have sent. Or at least I think it does. As a way of an update to questions posed, we are the second house on Bunkerhill off of Highland. That's the "no outlet" side of Bunkerhill. I did a roaming update on both our phones with little improvement. If you scan the doc you will see that a lot, and I mean a lot, of folks have a problem with Verizon. That goes for AT&T as well. So on the upside Sprint and T-Mobile are worth considering. Bonnee needs her phone for work. So before we jump ship I'll probably get a cheap pay as you go phone as a test of a different carrier. FYI Best Buy has a pretty good mobile phone department. Rich and Bonnee

[Highland Park] Posting about possible criminal
by Alfred Boutros 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I would like to post this to the list serve ASAP. Thank you! Neighbors, I wanted to make you aware of a possible criminal in the neighborhood. My girlfriend was doing lawn work this morning on Wellesley Ave, near Negley. There is a man in his 30's riding up and down the street on a bike, and appears to be casing cars. He approached her, and asked specifically about my car, where I store it, and where it was today. She didn't tell him anything, but he came back 3 more times to speak with her, and asked each time about the car, and appears to be looking at all the cars on the block, and going into the back alleys. He could be casing houses also. If he is one of the guys that has been breaking into houses in the neighborhood, or cars, I recommend keeping a look out for him, and take his picture, incase a crime happens on this street in the next few days or weeks. He is VERY shady, and seems to be hanging with 1 or 2 other people on the street. He is black, and his 2 friends are white. Sorry I do not have a better description. I apologize in advance.
