[Highland Park] Armed robbery and shooting
by Karen Cadoff 25 May '10

25 May '10

Around 11Pm on Mon 5/24 my son and his girlfriend were robbed at the corner of Portland and Hampton by two black males with a gun.They were at the bus stop at Negley and Hampton and were being followed so they tried to make it to our house. They took her purse with her wallet and keys in it. We recovered the keys and purse down the block on Portland but not the wallet. If you happen to see it (it's white) please email me since it contained some important info. Also there was a shooting in the 5700 block of Jackson shortly after the robbery.We found this out as we were talking to the police. Karen Cadoff kcadoff(a)yahoo.com

[Highland Park] Consolidated recommendations for Gutter and / or waterproofing professional recommendations
by David Gebhardt 24 May '10

24 May '10

Some of you have requested that I share the responses for waterproofing and gutter / drain professionals. Here they are. In the interest of anonymity to the responders I haven't included their names and email addresses. However, in some cases I did include who responded thinking it would be wise to mention who the recommenders were (self promotion, real estate agents, etc.) so as not to skew the playing field. Best regards, -David 1. I don't know about basement waterproofing, but for gutter/downspout work last summer I used Balistrieri Construction. They were awesome and affordable. Really, really great folks. Here's their info: 116 Wetzel Road Glenshaw, PA 15116 (412) 486-6471 2. aquaguard just a month ago. They quoted the lowest price (there was a $250 coupon in those mailed advertisements). They took 2 days, were very respectful and we haven't had any water since. Good luck. 3. [I had 2 recommendations (for basement waterproofing) for Matthews Wall Anchor Service in Beaver Falls: (724) 846-0440. They are coming out on Wednesday to provide a free estimate] 4. We had a good experience with Paul Voelker in replacing some rain gutters. Paul Voelker Contracting 4781 Wallingford st Pittsburgh, Pa 15213 PA058783 Fully Insured 412-303-7567 p.voelker(a)hotmail.com 5. Eric Matthews: phone number: (412) 287-5581 A friend gave me his name and number. Said, "He's not cheap, but he's really good" Did a fantastic job for her. I called him and he is coming over to give me a free estimate. 6. Schultheis Brothers for our slate roof, flat roofs and downspouts. 7. Mariani & Richards – expensive, but very good – for basement water proofing; I don’t know about gutter/downspout work. [Also received another, outside of this venue] lead to this company.) 8. I can highly recommend Watershield for your basement. I have had several clients work with them and everyone has been very pleased with their honest and their work.

[Highland Park] Mystery flower bulbs
by Rebecca Maclean 24 May '10

24 May '10

I have about six paper grocery bags full of (presumably) daffodil bulbs free to good homes. I say presumably because we've been in our house for two springs now and while they leaf out beautifully, they never bloom. I got about 200 bulbs out of a 3'x6' area so they were a bit crowded. We kept what we wanted and are offering the rest. There's about 20-30 bulbs in a bag.
