[Highland Park] spring cleaning
by Kimberly Musial 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Now that spring is upon us, spring cleaning inevitably begins. I recently moved to the neighborhood and am wondering if anyone is getting rid of a wheelbarrow, push mower or porch swing? Also, I notice lots of similar contractor inquiries. I wonder if it would be prudent for us to consider a google doc that we could all access and update with contractors, painters, electricians, plumbers, reviews, etc? I'd be more than happy to set up a template if the interest is there. sounds like angie's list for sure, but there's nothing better than your neighbor's recommendation. -- Kimberly Musial ph: 412-418-4913 fax: 1-888-857-6637

[Highland Park] East Liberty Farmers Market Update
by David Lagnese 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

East Liberty Farmers’ Market Update Here is an update for Saturday April 3rd! * The holiday is upon us, so the market will be stocked with lots of goodies. * Last week, Sam Byler from Riverview Dairy started selling some new Pennsylvania cheeses- starting with cow’s milk cheese from Pasture Maid Creamery- which comes from a farm outside of New Castle. * · Sam was recently licensed to bottle milk (apparently no small feat in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania). Last week he brought a few gallons of fresh goat milk to the market. The milk sold out in about 30 minutes flat. This week Sam will be bringing more goat milk to market- packaged in half gallons and quarts. Rumor has it that Sam will also be bringing fresh goat milk yogurt as well. * Rick from Zang’s Greenhouse will have a variety of Easter flowers, among other things. * Although it is too late to place orders for this Saturday- the J.L. Kennedy Farm should be fully stocked with a variety of locally grown meats. * And who can forget about eggs at Easter. Ina from Greenawalt Farm will have that covered. * Local apples and cider are still available from Kistaco Farm * * Fresh brewed Kew Park Coffee from Jamaica will be available from the coffee bar. We also have whole beans that would be a great addition to an Easter celebration. Whole beans can be ground to order. On a final note- I want to let everyone know that we are building a web site for the market. It is a very exciting development for the market. It will help us to better communicate with our existing customers and spread the word to others who don’t know about the market. Text Box: The Farmers’ Cooperative Market of East Liberty is located at 344 North Sheridan Ave., adjacent to the Home Depot parking lot. The market operates year round- and is open from 5 AM until 12 Noon every Saturday of the year. See you at the Market- David Lagnese cid:_1_0403414804033EF4005CE39B852576F2

[Highland Park] Seeking Someone to do Drywall and Plaster Work
by Rob Nichols 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hello Neighbors, I need to find someone ASAP to do repair work on a plaster wall and two sections of ceiling, all of which got water damaged a month ago when everyone in Pittsburgh was having roof/ceiling leaks. My house is going on the market soon so I need to get this done as quickly as possible. Another concern is cost (of course). I'm a struggling grad student on a tight budget, so I'm looking for someone who charges reasonable rates. This is not a major job, but would be good for someone who knows how to do this type of work right and would be willing to take on a smaller job. If you can recommend anyone, then please let me know. Many Thanks, Rob Nichols
