[Highland Park] FOR SALE - Ikea Free-Standing Kitchen Cabinet
by Rob Nichols 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi Neighbors, I'm moving in a couple of weeks and must sell my great Ikea free-standing kitchen cabinet. The cabinet was purchased new at Ikea 4 years ago. Here's a link to Ikea's website with a description and picture of the piece, along with dimensions http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/14631607 I've also attached a couple of other pictures. The cabinet is still in great condition. Because of that, I'm asking a firm price of $250 for it (more than 25% off retail price). Please let me know if you're interested. Also--I need to sell the cabinet ASAP and you will need to move it. It's big, so you'll more than likely have to use a truck to move it. It might fit into a large SUV, though. Cheers, Rob (412) 432-6122

[Highland Park] Door Recommendations needed
by neighbor 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

We need a new screen/storm door and perhaps a new outside door. Of course, the dimensions are not square so "off the shelf" doors will not work. Any suggestions of carpenters or companies that do this kind of work? THANK YOU

[Highland Park] attempted burglary: 6300 block of Jackson ?
by Dan J. Martin 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

At approx 9.30p on Tuesday night, someone attempted to enter our home through our side door. My wife, in the kitchen, heard the noise of the doorknob turning and the door itself jerked against the deadbolt. She thought it was me arriving home from the ballgame. Our dog also perked up at the noise and was poised just inside the door. By the time she realized it was NOT me and looked out the windows, whoever it had gone. A police report was filed. An important reminder for all of us, especially during these warm summer night, to keep our doors closed and locked. Also, don't ever think these kinds of things are too insignificant to report to the police. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dan J. Martin .

[Highland Park] port-o-potty at the Farmhouse
by Todd Leach 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello, I have been asking the city workers when the port-o-potty will be put in place at the Farmhouse for over two months now. I find it hard to believe with the T-ball, baseball, and playground that they missed installing this one on purpose. The city worker I spoke with today asked me to begin calling the "311" hotline. I would like to ask that all who use the farmhouse, place a quick call, as I am sure that the more complaints, the quicker it will be in place.
