[Highland Park] bicyclists on east lib blvd
by Kimberly Musial 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Just a warning to still be careful riding on east liberty blvd in the evening. I just got back in from a ride (8:20 pm) and saw 4 kids on a dirt path just before negley run with rocks in hand. I happened to look directly at them as they were about ready to throw and said: "hey guys" and smiled. instead of rocks, i got dirty looks and a "wassup, n*****." I did call the zone 5 police to talk to them. -- Kimberly Musial ph: 412-418-4913 fax: 1-888-857-6637

by Michelle Belan 27 Jul '10

Perhaps you are thinking that this was a windfall for you in these tough economic time, but it is someone's much-needed, hard-earned income. Perhaps you weren't sure it belonged to the person whose car it was next to. Please, if you have found it, do the right thing and return it to my daughter. You can leave it on the porch at 1170 Morningside Ave., no judgment, no questions. Thank you. Michelle Belan michelle(a)belancreative.com

Hi, I am going on vacation August 21 - 26 Looking for a dog sitter that would welcome my "calm and trained" 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier into their home. The idea situation is someone close by Morningside home so, during the day he could be in his normal routine and in evenings stay with you at your home. Or someone that is home most of the day.

Re: [Highland Park] Home Security Alarm Company List
by pink bunny 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Dear Neighbors, I'm new-ish to this neighborhood, and signed up for this listserv immediately after the terrible incident at Stanton and Negley. Remarkably, for all the supposed outrage for what seems to have been a hate crime, no one else seems to find this email both alarming and horrifying? What if I substituted the words "Morman" (sic) and "Utah" with "Muslim" and "Iraq" or "Hindu" and "India", would that have caused anyone pause? It is very common for college-aged students to take summer jobs selling all kinds of things door-to-door: alarm systems, pest control, house painting, etc. I am positive this salesman's religion has nothing to do with the security system he is selling, nor is everything out of Utah suspect. I know nothing about what security company he works for, and maybe they are terrible, but please, contact the BBB or research consumer reviews to make an assessment! For what it's worth, I have known a number of very lovely Mormons who I would happily do business with, just as I would anyone of any religion. And, I love Overstock.com, which is a seriously awesome company based out of Utah!

by caitlin 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

*Oak Wilt in Pittsburgh: A Special Education Session *Oak Wilt is a fast-spreading fungus that is affecting oak trees in the Pittsburgh region. Once the fungus is discovered in a population of trees, they must be removed. A 2-acre stand of trees were removed from Frick Park this spring, and *another large area of trees that are infected will be removed in Highland Park in late July/early August*. What is Oak Wilt and what are treatment options? Will it affect trees in your neighborhood? Join us for a special session with the Department of Forestry, Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest, and Steve Miller from Bartlett Tree Experts in Highland Park. See the area where trees were recently removed, and learn more about this aggressive fungus, how to prevent it, and how it is treated. A Question & Answer session is included. Saturday August 7th 9am-11am Pool Grove Shelter Highland Park *RSVP: Caitlin(a)Pittsburghforest.o****rg or call 412-362-6360 *Please wear close-toed shoes and dress appropriately for walking outside. *This session is for adults only--please do not bring children under the age of 15. * Learn more about Oak Wilt in this article from the Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10154/1062753-455.stm -- "Time is how the trees grow. I will fall asleep for a thousand years and a mighty spruce will have raised me high, high into the sky."
