[Highland Park] No grass mowing on Jackson St. HP Entrance
by Daniel Friedman 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

If you are one of the many people who use the "seven bumps" hillside (with or without a dog) on the east side of Jackson Street at the Jackson entrance to the park, you will notice that there has been no grass gutting so far this year. I have talked to the maintenance crew to no avail, and I have called the Mayor's Service's line (311 or 412-255-2621). The area will soon be unusable. The more people who complain the better. (Or so I like to think). Please call, and if you see a maintenance person, ask "what's the story?" and put in your request. Thanks. - Dan Friedman

Hello all, On Saturday, I unsuccessfully tried to drive into the Market District underground parking garage with my daughters once super cool Schwinn Roadster tricycle on the roof. OUCH! Now we are short one super cool Schwinn Roadster tricycle, one Thule 50" load bar and one unscathed CRV. My daughter has fortunately outgrown the once super cool Schwinn Roadster tricycle so she will getting her sisters old training wheel enhanced bicycle. Now to the gist of this email. 1) I am wondering if anyone has a Thule 50" load bar they are no longer in need of and would like to part with. 2) I would greatly appreciate recommendations for an auto body shop. Thanks and obey those clearance signs! Kevin

[Highland Park] community gardens
by Amy P. Kennedy 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Don't know if you all saw this item from Patrick Dowd's recent newsletter about how to get on the list for the community gardens. Since so many of our Highland Park plots went untended last year I think it might be a good idea to take inventory this year and report the unused plots. Does anyone want to handle this? Thanks. Amy Community gardensprovide access to fresh produce and plants as well as access to satisfying labor, neighborhood improvement, sense of community and connection to the environment. As our urban communities are growing greener and citizens are more interested in where their food comes from, the City of Pittsburgh offers community gardens for individuals and groups to tend. To register for a plot, please phone Mike Gable at 412-255-2488 and leave a message with your name, phone number and address and mention the community garden you would like a plot in. You will be put on a waiting list if nothing is available at the time of your call.
