[Highland Park] TiVo?
by Justine Cassell 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Thanks for the responses concerning phone/internet/TV in the neighborhood. Responses were Comcast, Verizon FIOS and a smaller company called Cavalier. I'm wondering if any of you know if a TiVo can be used with packages from any of these companies, or do I have to give up my beloved TiVo in favor of one of their DVR? thanks, -justine

18 Jul '10

We are getting rid of our 3 sun sails we bought last year... nothing is wrong with them , they are in good condition and served us well. We have plenty of shade are just redoing our deck. We are selling them for $20. We paid $104 for all 3 (colors which are red, orange, and yellow). I highly recommend them if you have very little shade or trees during these hot summer days . Below are 2 pictures of how we used them in our backyard and then a breif description from Coolaroo. 412 361 4039 Create the perfect party atmosphere and beat the heat with a new concept from the land down under!

[Highland Park] gay bashing?
by Amy P. Kennedy 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

I was riding the bus past Stanton and Negley on Saturday around noon and there was quite a large demonstration on that corner. Per the signs I read, it was apparently in response to a gay bashing incident that occurred there on Friday night. I searched some websites this morning but see no mention of the incident or the demonstration. Does anyone know what happened there?

[Highland Park] Rocket Box needed
by Nancy Eligator 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hello Highland Park neighbors! We are in need of a Yakima or Thule-type Rocket box for luggage, etc. to put on the roof rack of our car. We have one that does not fit our current roof rack components and need one that can be adjusted to the rack crossbars. Does anyone have one they aren't using that they'd like to sell us? I'd love to hear from you before we attempt to go on vacation. Thanks, Nancy nelig(a)aol.com
