[Highland Park] Bad Seeds This Friday-- 10 AM Matinee & 7:30 PM Performance
by Emily Swora 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Dear Highland Parkers-- This Friday, the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater will be hosting the Alumni Theater Company, our youth theater company in residence, for two performances of their work: *Bad Seeds*. See the description below, and please consider joining us for some great music, monologues, and original work! BAD SEEDS *Presented by Kelly Strayhorn Theater* Friday, July 23, 2010 | 10AM | $2.50 at the door Friday, July 23, 2010 | 7:30PM | $10 General | $5 Student/Artist/15206 An evening of song, dance, and complete impertinence, the members of the Alumni Theater Company act out characters inspired by school and the life of a teenager. Sometimes bratty, bold, arrogant, or simply misunderstood each has a story bigger and and brighter than imagined. Hip hop, Broadway, and pop culture meld together in this energetic and reflective musical revue. ATC’s talented cast members somehow find a way to make degenerate look good. http://www.kelly-strayhorn.org/calendar/event/i-am-artist-bad-seeds/ Thanks! -- Emily Swora PULSE Intern/Outreach Coordinator Kelly-Strayhorn Theater 5941 Penn Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412-363-3000 ext 107 http://www.kelly-strayhorn.org

[Highland Park] Re: abandoned vehicles
by E Zimmerman 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi neighbors, I have had success in the past in reporting abandoned vehicles -- it takes a ton of persistence and follow-up, but it is possible.. I called 412.255.8999 -- the abandoned vehicle number for the city. Before calling, you should know the block where it's located, the plate number, make, model, color, and if possible, if it has state inspection stickers up to date in the window. They'll have to send a letter to the owner and give them a chance to move it, and if it is indeed abandoned it will be towed - (again, after a lot of calling and persistence on your part). I've also tried these in the past, but didn't get as far with it, if I recall: Abandoned Vehicles City of Pittsburgh Mayor’s Office (412) 255-2500 Parking, Tow Pound, Vehicle Issues: To report an abandoned vehicle, call 412-255-4776. To reach the City Tow Pound, call 412-255-2500. To reach the Pittsburgh Parking Authority, call 412-560-7275. Good luck!! I fully support folks trying to keep our neighborhood safe and non-ugly!

Re: [Highland Park] gay bashing?
by Morgen 19 Jul '10

Is there a way for us to get a more visible and consistent police presence at Negley and Stanton? It seems to be a trouble spot for the neighborhood. I would think that having a patrol car hanging out for a few hours on random evenings would deter a lot of this type of violence. Morgen Kelly "Justin J.

They didn't try to rob him. There were three kids, two of them crossed the street and then the third, from what I understand, came up behind Joe and pushed him then slugged him in the face. Joe ran into the street away from him and ran home. This happened Friday evening across from the Union Project. There was a small rally last night since the police took forever (I got the call at Gooski's...... and headed over there by bike, and the police didn't get there for a good 30-40 minutes or so after I reckon). But there's gonna be another gathering today at Negley & Stanton. As my friend happens to be queer, it's being taken as another gay bashing incident. It could just be shitty young kids f'ing with people who look hip and nonviolent though. > > >-------- > >Justin Cummings - Realtor >HOWARD HANNA SHADYSIDE >412-418-0596<tel:412-418-0596> (cell) >http://www.howardhanna.com/justincummings > >Sent from my iPhone > >On Jul 18, 2010, at 4:23 PM, "Amy P.
